Like the 3200 there must be a replacement aftermarket clutch available for the 4200!!!
Well , im pretty sure my clutch has given up the ghost .
Started in yesterday and pulled away and noticed that it was slipping . Managed to get it home from the new forest .... got home and could nt get reverse , now its struggling to get first .
oh well .. at least it did nt go in Le mans ;P Its done 20,000 miles on this clutch .
Getting off the subject for a mo, manual 3200 GT clutches only last around 20K at most... And there not available any longer until Sach's makes another batch!

Thread drift onto 3200s again. Please stop it and move back to civilised posting.
HI BL330, I'm up here in Sydney, and I have just had my 3rd clutch collapse in as many years. Same problem.........tangs or fingers. I have a 2007 Gransport. The car has never been on the track, never driven in Auto mode, is usually driven through only moderate traffic and rarely pushed hard. It has the Formula Dynamics DBW unit fitted. Even though the wear figures are often not all that accurate, the last 2 collapses have only been at 30% and 17% wear. I have looked through a lot of stuff on various forums trying to get the right info on the F430 conversion. There seems to be some confusion (or confusing information) as to which is the correct F430 product to use. There is mention of "F430GT3 car" and "F430 Challenge clutch kit part number: 225306" and I have to admit, I don't fully understand most of it. It appears as though it's only the F430 pressure plate that's used. I need to get some exact, detailed information about this conversion. Is Alvin the best contact? Can you help, or at least point me in the right direction?Hi Martyn, sorry to hear your news.
You may consider upgrading to the F430 clutch and thrust bearing, as at least 2 cars over here I know of have.
The benefit is the wider tangs over the F360 clutch we have and bigger thrust bearing to take more load.
I driven Alvin's car in Melbourne with it and didn't really notice the difference, as I was more absorbed with his custom remap of the power curve. Another one in Sydney reports much smoother down changes with this set up.
It's the path I'll be taking when the time comes.
