Agree here. I need a hid box on my due to the mileage I do. Tbh I would stick to a DT box because you really don't need the range through the gears

Nice one cj what they like on a daily basses? And the hdi box is cheap and my dt box is on its way out plus I can get my baler bm engine mounts on at the same time

I have a paddle, once they wear in the are a little bit juddery, but I don't mind it and I use it every day.

Ive just gone for a sprung because it was at the right price on ebay tbh, sprung are great IMO just like a standard with a bit of added bite. Ive not driven an unsprung in a derv but i know strictly_derv has one though.

Im going to be gettinG a unsprung one next though and they are slightly cheaper i believe from cg

Im sticking with the DT box as prefere the shorter box and not keen on the gap between 2nd and 3rd with the HDi plus dont do much milage

Ahhh nice one dont think the juddering would be an issue probs get used to it only consern is on a dail basses as driving to work and back is 14 miles and 4 od them is through town so loads of traffic lights

Personally id get a helix paddle cos CG are a bunch of cowboy c**ts

The springs in a sprung paddle clutch are only rated to 280lb/ft and it is possible to snap them past that point meaning that your clutch will judder anyway as well as rattling more than normal.

The rattling does my head in, end up pressing the clutch pedal when arriving some places as it makes it sound broken otherwise.

Same, I thought it was broken, thought I was going to have to take the damn thing apart again!

i wouldn't opt for an unsprung paddle clutch if your going to be using it around town alot, quite brutal

Unsprung ftw

Everyone says that, but they really are fine, with the torque of these diesels they are easy to use. I imagine on a torqueless vtec or something they would be quite hard to engage.
