As everything else was shut today, my mate picked up a PBR clutch for the SX from Repco (they only stock standard-not heavy duty). The price was very reasonable at $175 but he is wondering whether this is false econony.
He has used standard Daikin clutches in the past, but they haven't lasted (30,000 km max). And he has complained that he could really smell the clutch burning even on moderate hill starts.
How hard does your mate drive his car??! If he's smelling the clutch burning on even moderate hill starts, there may be another problem (rather than just the clutch itself). Did he get the flywheel machined when the clutch was changed in the past?
If he's doing mostly normal driving, and it's a standard 4AGE powering the thing, then I'd probably be inclined to go with a standard clutch. I've got a Daikin HD clutch in my car, and it's not really lasted all that well IMO.
