People's dealings with Race Clutch?

Got to say Jim Berry at race clutch is a top bloke.

Real great to talk to. 20min is the quickest phone convo you can have with him lol. Even if its just to ask him for a part number. :lol:

He really is a great help and knows his stuff. Too bad he is going into semi retirement.

Who else has dealt with him?

Like matt ive known him for as long as i can rember,thru my dad and fiats.He is imho the best clutch guy in the world period!Case in point 24hrs at the ring a few years back 18 hr in the head of porsche walks into Tony Quinn`s gt3RSR pits and enquires as to when they planned on changing the clutch as they were the only porsche team still to do so.Never did then a sach engineer came to australia to talk to jim.

yep Jim is a great bloke. Use to built cultches for Boris at VVDub for his old drag car now my race beetle. When I rebuilt my engine last year I had Jim look at my Kennedy clutch and he told me to throw it away! He then built me a pressure plate with a 5mm spacer from a ???? with a clutch throw bearing out from a Fiat, he is a Fiat tragic, that I had to modify to fit the VW carrier. I was a bit worried but he was confident it would work and it has been a great combination. putting 200hp plus thru it to a type 1 Albins geared box built by Henry S. Can't go wrong with this combo.

Jim knows his stuff alright and does everything in house. As miniman says he is moving his workshop to Stanthorpe but I think he is still at Stones Corner......
