Spesh 18 1 Cars Posted February 26 currently running a luk bx clutch in my gti6 conversion but I'm about to bump the power a bit with throttle bodies, 2.2 bottom end etc so am thinking I need to up the clutch a bit. I want to stay with stock 215mm clutch and retain some driveablity as it does occasionally go on B road warrior trips on nicer days so a race type clutch is out. The obvious choice seems to be the helix setup https://www.peugeot-tuning-parts.co.uk/index.php?seo_path=peugeot-405-mi16-1.9-helix-paddle-clutch-kit Is there a different/better/equal alternative? BE3 box. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,578 Posted February 26 (edited) unless you are launching it on stickies I think you'll be fine with the standard clutch, I'm using a standard gti6 clutch on my 2.2 which is essentially the same friction plate as the 1.9 MI/BX16v. I believe there is or was once an uprated valeo clutch with a higher clamping force but I have no idea where you'd find one, the Helix is the other one that springs to mind but having driven a paddle clutch equipped car I really wouldnt have it in a road car, I'm sure there is a standard organic type available.

petert 508 Posted February 27 1.9L Mi16/BX16V is best. Just avoid big downshifts, without rev matching, as those straps don't like going backwards. They're otherwise fine for your application. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
