Rwd 4age + Spriter Bearbox = What Clutch???

[KLR16V]

I bought a KE70 with a bigport 4age (silver with black writing on the cam covers).

It desperately needs a clutch. What I want to know is where does the clutch come from.

It’s got a sprinter gearbox so which clutch should I buy. Will an ae82 twincam clutch work???

I have not idea.

What do I ask for at auto1 or wherever I decide to buy it from?


Anyone got any ideas??????

Thanks Daniel

AE82 clutch will do you fine, just if you buy a clutch kit you'll need to swap the bearing.

[KLR16V]

so do i need to use a different throw out bearing

[slide86]

yeah get a clutch kit for a bigport (ae82) and get a thrust bearing for a ae86 (T50) box.

its also a good idea to change spigot bush while you are at it, thats in the back of teh crank.

Check the parts forum !!!!! I have a killer clutch for sale.

Its exactly what you need

First performance clutch?
Ask for a full face organic friction plate and a heavy duty pressure plate to suit a ae82 twincam16

The next one, for when you break the one above, but will shit you to tears if you have to commute
4 puke ceramic paddle friction plate with heavy duty pressure plate.

i use and recommend exedy clutches
how easy can it be, pick one of the kits off this page

don't forget to grab a new 6001 spigot bearing to put in the end of the crank
if it's got one, change it anyway

Ceramic clutches are nt too bad in traffic.Atleast my old one wasnt !

[mc68]

yeah but you cannot ride them, that ism if you want them to last.......

Depends on a lot of things, but you can get varying differences between a really sharp and bitey ceramic, and the one i have, which feels like a grabby HD
Just thought i'd warn others, because driving in traffic isn't that bad, but if you do it every day day in day out, it gets a little tiresome. Especially after a long day at work.

My mate has some crazy button jap dorifto clutch, combined with a chatty 2 way mechanical, it's quite a bitch to drive. Not something i'd like to drive everyday.

ive ordered an ae82 heavy duty and a sprinter thrust bearing. so i should be doing the change over the weekend

hopefully it all works out right.

i dont really want any serious kind of clutch because this is going to be my daily driver while i do the gze conversion in my aw11.


thanks for your help guys

For a fairly standard NA 4AG there is no need for any nasty clutches. My cheap-o 'heavy duty' clutch kit ($150) has put up with me abusing it for two years. Turbo 4AG's are a different story though... I can confess to having this issue several years ago, spending far too much on 'good' clutches that lasted all of a few minutes. Then again, the T50 is a fragile little thing that won't take more than that anyway.

As pointed out above, replace the spigot bearing (not bush!), for all of a couple of $ you might as well.

ive put in an excedy heavyduty clutch, changed the spigot bearing.

and yes i had to use a sprinter thrust bearing.

im very happy with how the clutch works.
