whats the difference between the organic and sintered clutches, the sintered seems to hold more torque but the organic i like twice the price, whats the difference/beneifts between the 2?

I have a paddle clutch which handles more torque than an uprated organic clutch and was a damn site cheaper.

The downside is the drive, the biting point is sharper and there is a slight judder on pulling away. To be honest i got used to this very quick and it handles my remapped 130 very well, where my standard clutch slipped even though it was hardly worn when it was removed.

thats what im on about, the paddle seems like the better one, but its much cheaper, cant make sense of it, there must be a reason, is it very quick wearing?

Basically the sintered paddle one would be incredibly hard work in a traffic jam - almost like an on/off switch, whereas the organic clutch is made to feel OEM.

Basically if your gonna abuse it get a paddle and get it replaced when you sell it. If you wanna sell it soonish, it may be best getting the organic clutch as it wont scare people :p
