If you go genuine, is there a difference between a clutch for a regular 122HP Puma and a 150HP Puma like on the Autobiography and Adventure last editions?
And would it make sense to ask dealer to install the latter on a 122HP Puma? What parts all need to be replaced to do a good job? Why do I ask? On the way home from work tonight, my clutch died without any real preadvise, just on a stretch of 2 km getting into any gear became the longer the more difficult, and then suddenly clutch was just kaput.

Redesigned, yes, but they're still not much good!
After 50k miles the springs have a permanent set and have lost their springiness. |

So you reccomend a normal clutch rather than a heavy duty one????? Mine will be getting tuned up so would be better to have stronger springs etc save it happaning again Thanks |

My concern with a HD clutch would be that it would make the gearchange heavier.
However, I cannot comment if this actually is the case or not. Chillin In The Backwoodsπ¬π§πΊπΈ β½οΈπ’οΈβοΈπ§°πͺ |

Depends what sort of HD plate is. Some "HD" are noisy to very noisy at idle. Puma 110" SW

Didn't I previously read a post on here that the now current "standard" replacement clutch is an improvement to the item originally fitted to Pumas?

^^^^ Yes, and I'm pretty sure it's true and originated from LR techs mentioning it,? Chillin In The Backwoodsπ¬π§πΊπΈ

I believe it has already been improved/redesigned several times. But what does "improved" really mean? On a scale of 100 being perfect, going from a 10 to 20 is also already an improvement.

There is a difference yes. The AB's did come with an uprated clutch, and you can order them. However the uprated clutch is about £1300 from LR - that's just the kit without labour.  The latest version 'standard' clutch from LR is only about £290.
There is also a later type clutch slave cylinder too, which suposedly makes the clutch lighter, i didn't notice a massive difference on mine, but maybe it already had one. These are a reasonable price, but i don't know at which point they started fitting them as standard. |
