Can some one explain please. How is verto clutch different? Are they better, worse, specific purpose, waste of money?

The verto clutch was introduced to help eliminate clutch shudder (primarily) compared to the earlier non verto (I think that's why they changed).

Differences: A non verto will have a long arm to activate the clutch, a verto has the slave cylinder mounted on an angle (pointing down towards the drivers side tyre) connected to a much shorter arm. I think they are much of a muchness really (from what I have heard).

Until 3 days ago I had two cars with very similar engine/box combinations. They both had standard flywheel/clutch setups. Mokesta has a standard (old style) clutch and Camilla had a verto.

I find that Mokesta suffers from clutch judder when taking off slowly. Camilla was a very much nicer car to drive in stop start traffic.

I'm told that the verto combination is heavier, so those after light flywheels go the earlier system.

I believe a Verto clutch is self adjusting. Some people say that you can't get as many different types of clutch plate for the Verto, (not as common as the standard ones). I have one in my Rover (as standard) and it works a treat, although the motor is pretty standard. I think they last longer too.
