Default Xray rx8 clutch help

Hi,

Getting back into the hobby after a few years off. I need some clutch advice. I can’t remember what year my rx8 is but I always had clutch trouble. I’m looking to get a new clutch setup what’s the best way to go?
Appreciate any advice.
And if someone in Australia could point me in the right direction for the best place to buy spares..?

If it still has plastic bulkheads a '13 clutch should work, if they are aluminum bulkheads then a '17-'18 should work. Biggest difference is the clutchbell threads for the pinions changed.

Get the 17 clutch system of you have aluminium bulkheads like Ralph mentioned. It has the smaller light weight fly wheel. hth
