I've just had my R26 clutch replaced after 51k miles. It has been mapped almost all of that, it wasn't slipping but had gone a bit stiff at the bottom. Good job I had it changed anyway as the slave cylinder was leaking. Mark Black fitted me a .R clutch and solid flywheel, he showed me the difference and the wear plates on the .R are a lot thicker. I think he charges £750 for the .R clutch and flywheel fitted, I had mine done with a load of other stuff so not sure exactly.
Cool I will get a upgraded one from Mark in the new year. I was told my R26 had a clutch replaced when I bought it but after driving 16k miles since I've owned it its starting to slip !

I think Mark does the standard for around £650 (don't quote me but I think that's what he said!). I didn't see the point though when the .R was only 100 or so more.
Is it cheaper if you buy a 1.9 D clutch then surely if it's the same it will carry the same part number making it the same price ?
we had this discussion here not sure there was a conclusion though? http://www.rsmegane.com/showthread.php?8146-Best-prices-for-R26R-spec-clutch-(Interesting-info-too)
It is the same clutch but it is under a different part number. Seems to be a good bit cheaper than the official r26r part. Andybond is the guy to ask for the part number, or perhaps papps as I think he fitted this clutch to his car recently
