There seems to be a lot of R’s struggling on standard clutches.
I’ve held off fitting my JB1 due to clutch concerns.
But having said that I’d still go for a map before upgrading the clutch.
Probably a low torque map and try and drive around revs that’ll upset the clutch at first.
Then if the clutch gave up the ghost further down the line I’d go for a Sachs and then return to the tuner to get a higher torque map put on.
That way, once the clutch and full fat map were added, you’d get yet another lease of life and feel like you’d got better value out of the new clutch as you’d have more torque too. Possibly feeling like you’d had a stage 2 map.
Once you’ve upgraded the clutch a stage 2 could actually be next in line.
