You can only fit one size clutch from 99 on 241 mm The turbo clutch has a stronger pressure plate so is the best one to fit.
From 99 on the gearbox bell housing has bigger strengthening fins in side which means you can not fit the larger clutch unless you change the bellhousing to an earler one, or get the grinder out.

just tried the main stealers £104+vat and not sure it is the right one!
wont be bothering with them then :lol:

found some on ebay for £50-60 +post so it looks like it will be a cheapie

just been out and had a look at it, the cable has no means of adjusting and the bearing is chattering a little bit, its driveable but slips if you try and welly it, and the pedal has dropped closer to the floor

well i had a look at it today, there is no way to adjust the cable, the pedal has dropped a bit, but still drives although if you push it too hard it slips OOOERRR :lol: and it has started chattering a little bit.
took the rubber bungs out of the box, everything looks ok, fork looks good, nice and clean all round, but i can disconnect the cable by hand quite easily :?
so i can only assume the clutch is really close to completely failing
