Fair enough, now that I have the plates out though I'm looking at these black ones and don't like the look of them as they're definitely more worn. Not sure why, perhaps a previous owner replaced the plates and for some reason has left those ones in from the old clutch? I've seen this on ebay, normally I try and go for OEM but cant find them and they're very expensive on aj sutton. For £25 I would definitely just be up for replacing the plates as a matter of course. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clutch-Plates-...20dbc5d6a6
I will get some new springs as well, rules out those 2 variables then. If it still rattles a little then I will live with that but its the pull away weakness that is annoying me and the great care I have to take with gear changing using the clutch sometimes. Definitely not the gearbox as on the rare occasion I clutch less change its totally smooth. New gasket I will go OEM though just to be sure. Before I buy those plates, anyone had any experience with them? Or should I go for something else like the EBC or whatever, I dont want any heavy duty ones though as I've heard they make matters I'm describing worse.
