I saw the video. I talked to Kentucky Clutch and they said they could do a twin plate clutch for around $900.

 

twin plate clutch for that is really good price, but what about flywheel & slave and other components?

 

Exactly - it is a big job on a V8V - ASK me how I know......(6K big)

 

If you have a Sportshift they absolutely must have the Aston Martin software to set up the clutch, a manual does not have that problem.

 

Well, as I learned, my very high-end Exotic shop had to take my V8V (2010) to the Stealership to "reset the monitors"....after the battery was disconnected to replace the clutch, that meant that all the codes etc were lost, and thus the 'monitors' (whatever THEY are), had to be reset, and done so by the Dealer.
So Prefurbia is right, BUT in my case the required firmware and associated gear was available ONLY at the dealer ----geez!
Now I need a new "Cowl" motor, as my soft top stops at about the 1 inch point, wanting to open........
I STILL LOVE my Aston!
