Hi guys n gals,

It was inevitably going to happen, even considering how few miles I do in my (PB) Focus RS MR420, but the [original and standard] clutch is no longer able to transmit the power to the wheels. What are the best options for a replacement? The car will never be used on track, at least while I own it, and I'm looking for a pedal feel as close to standard as possible but without putting another standard clutch in.

Your suggestions are most welcome...

Many thanks in advance.

How many miles you covered on this clutch now

About 37K. Complete guess, but I'd say around 5K since the MR420 upgrade

Doesn’t bode well for me I’m on 32k and having msd530 next week ☹

Hmmm that is a big power increase. I could be wrong, but I'm betting Ford didn't engineer the original clutch to handle that sort of torque. Good luck with it though, it will be a beast (while the clutch lasts).

Im currently on a tune with wmi that showed 466bhp on devils dyno a while ago, so power increase not that big straight off.
I’m planning a stage 3 clutch at the service in September, it’s only as beast as your right foot dictates so just have to go easy for now 🤣
