I stand corrected, firstly i thought the cg motorsport clutch was good, in theory it is, it drives well and once bedded in properly i feel it will hold the power well...
Thats as far as the good bits go! As soon as i got the car back the mechanic (peugeot mastertech) said the release bearing was noisey (a rattling noise that disappeared once the clutch was pressed down)...
I rang CG motorsport and they said its the gearbox (straight away diagnosis over the phone), being an apprentice mechanic myself and lots of mechanic friends i thought this was aloud of ********...
A day later i was driving along stood in traffic with the clutch down, and noticed a metallic chattering noise once the clutch was pressed down for more than a couple of seconds...
I talked to the mechanic who fitted it and he said it could possibly be a broken spring (which we both found highly unlikely), so i went down to CG motorsport in person this time.
They remembered our phonecall and instantly said again the rattling was the gearbox (bearing in mind there was no noise before the clutch was fitted) and they also said the metallic chattering was the clutch cable overstroking (bearing in mind the clutch cable was a brand new genuine item fitted at the same time).
They never actually gave me a proper answer as to why it was over stroking, leaving me with two options, wether it was the cable at fault or the clutch plate the wrong way round (and from experience ive always been taught if the clutch plate is fitted the wrong way round it wouldnt fit or not get a gear).
I then took it to them after the offered to set it up free of charge as they said it was the cable overstroking and got it back exactly the same. He said he altered the clutch cable as it was locked up but i cant see a new cable 'locking up'.
I then took it back today for them to solve the problem, and they welded a pedal stop onto the back of the clutch pedal.
IMHO, a brand new genuine clutch cable, genuine new flywheel and a brand new cg motorsport kit (designed for a 306 hdi) shouldnt need to be bodged with a pedal stop.
They said the only thing is that the plate is fitted the wrong way round and basically blaming the peugeot mastertech of fitting a clutch incorrectly. (as already stated, i find it hard to believe that a clutch plate can be fitted the wrong way round and drive perfectly fine, just chatter when held down for several seconds?)
Another problem i found, was once i was explaining the problems to the manager, he had an instant answer for every possible problem, and after reflecting on what was said later on that day, a lot of the statements he made contradicted themselves.
So, atm im in two minds as to get the gearbox out again and see what is actually causing the problem (and pay once again) or leave it with the bodged pedal stop and hope the clutch and gearbox lasts as long as it would usually (cg motorsport also said, even though the plate is the wrong way round, no harm will be done once the pedal stop is fitted?)
So imo, Dumdum says Helix' aftersales was poor, and i cannot comment on that, but that is my situation after CG motorsport, i am in no way saying they are a bad company, i just feel disheartened to reccomend them in any way after all the hassel i am having fitting new parts that should all work correctly.
Also, the paddle clutch is easy to drive and the pedal is light, yet after driving mikes car, i feel the genuine clutch kit with sachs plate has a lot less vibrations on takeoff and reverse.

and I wasn't meaning it in a harsh way, just that it was the first thing that came into my head upon reading the OP

and i would be a liar if i said the car never wheelspun but that was only because i was driving it ****** hard
