| Post subject: | To go verto or non verto on my engine build |
So, I am having a 1380 built up with an a plus box bolted to the bottom. I had purchased a lightened and balanced pre verto clutch setup of a fellow member for the build. I have now been recommended to go verto on this gearbox. I was suggested early clutch plate wear may be a result of the pre verto on the A+ box. Now I'M very hesitant to change. I think I was correct and my clutch choice will be fine. Btw its an orange dot diaphragm with a next to new clutch plate. I havent heard much good about verto's. Opinions? |

There is nothing special about an A+ box that makes it require a Verto clutch. IMO non Verto clutches are better because: 1. The whole flywheel assembly can be lighter. 2. You can choose from blue , orange, grey, or double grey dot diaphragms. 3. They are way cheaper, the price of new Verto stuff is ridiculous. 4. Verto stuff is rare in Australia (Rovers & Metros never sold here). The only benefit of a Verto clutch in a Mini IMO is less pedal pressure, as it has a `conventional' automotive style pressure plate with fingers in it.. |

I have an A+ box and block and run a pre verto clutch no problem. Been in there for 4 years. Just make sure it gets set up correctly if it's been lightened. |
