You cant fit either to the flat type flywheel unless your using a F28 box an then you can use the friction plate.

1.cant be arsed sorting mounts,shafts,linkage and any other bits i need

2.you can change the clutch on my f20 without removing the gearbox.

3. its cheaper to replace an f20 if it goes

I'd agree with Rich if you are getting a LET get it done properly and spend money where it is needed. will be a much better experience and less likely to fuck up.

The shafts are the same, only the n/s mount will differ.

Oh, it may be initially cheaper to replace the F20 but not if you are going through a few a year!

If you have any respectable state of tune on it, they won't last!

If its a standard C20LET you should be OK.

do it right ffs, everyone says this an then spends a few grand on F20s before realising what a tool youve been. You will be changing the gearbox with your 6 month service if not sooner.

An if your not breaking the box your mates unckles brothers son down the pub isnt breaking them then they are

1. Driving like girls
2. The car is parked on the drive an isnt used.

ive out over 400lb/ft through an f28 and had no issues. putting 200 through an f20 is asking for trouble

cliche response, you know best
