If you don't think the car is sold as fit for purpose, then go back to dodgy darrel.

I wouldn't worry on the NA's. The only NA clutch we've changed is on one of the race cars and that was due to abuse.
The fact the clam has to come off and engine out is pretty normal for Lotus cars on these kinds of things; they build them to function with limited attention paid to how you actually fix them.
Thats good to know then

i think mine is on its way out, only done 1000 miles since i brought the car put in 2nd gear between about 3500 and 4500 RPM it feels like a really big flat spot and feels like the car isn't pulling like it should...i think its slipping
....not quite sure
Slipping clutch does not feel like a flat spot, you would know if it was slipping.
Mine slipped for more than a year (including a ton of track days) and it was fine. Eventually had it changed by Thorney for a performance item, make s a huge difference, even compared to the original before it slipped.

Hi!
On the Turbo you can take the gearbox out without taking the clam off or taking the engine out![]()
If you take off the left parts of the rear axle it`s possible.
Thats correct, but the time it takes to do that along with the fact that removing all these parts means a complete geo would need doing and involves removing bolts that aren't exaclty designed for multiple removal/instalation means the engine out method is actually quicker and certainly better for the car.
