Jim Berry Clutches

[Swiper the Fox]

I recieved a pm this morning (from a user i will not name) claiming to know one of my mates. He then told me a bullsh1t story about a clutch failure, and the fact Jim Berry has dudded him over it. This story could not be further from the truth...not only does Glen not know this tool, Glen has nothing but praise for Jim and the way he handled the situation, getting his car repaired and building him a custom twin plate to get him back on the road. a transcript of the crap is below...

Hi mate,

RE the jim berry clutc, I know a guy who is in the middel of a law suit with jim berry as one of him top line clutch's let go and sent shrapnel through the floor. The materials were tested and found to be faulty but jim berry refused to pay up.

Anyway I have gone for the O S Gikon (think thats the spelling/pronunciation) unit. The gearbox you have sounds like the go but am wondering why you are selling it if you are still activley racing? Also would like to know if you will go any lower on the price?

What a load of SHIT...do you know this guy do you??? the guy in question happens to be one of my good mates. The pressure plate was faulty from manufacture and nothing to do with Jim Berry. Jim's insurance arranged for the car to be repaired (even when the [insert brand name] pressure plate was found to have been cracked from manufacture) and made the process of the car being repaired a simple and painless task. Jim even custom built him a twin plate which is currently in the car and ran a 10.8 at the track last week.If you know this guy so well who is he??? Whats his name?? I think you should stop listening the rumour mill and repeating this bullsh1t as your own experience.

I hate lying f**ks and put them in the same boat as theives.

was willing to help you but not anymore

f**k off idiot...never pm me again

If i didn't know the sort of person Jim was i probably wouldn't have felt so pissed off.....But Jim berry is one of the nice guys of the industry and doesn't need this c0ck spreading a chinese whisper he's heard along the grapevine (even tried to give the story credibility by saying he new the guy). Im not willing to name him as he may have a chance to admit he's a bullsh1tter and apoligise to Jim.....he's got 48hrs. Glen (GTR27L) would also like to know how he knows this wanker!!

[Guilt-Toy]

I think i know the person you are talking about.

The story I heard from the horses mouth is that after the massive crater it created in the road it smashed through the floor as well.. Quite a mess.

I heard that the workshop is fixing everything and that there are no problems at all.

Even after all this Glen still recommended i get one of these clutch's because they are one of the best you can buy... (maybe when i can afford it lol)

The car is already fixed and has since run a 10.8sec with another Jim Berry built clutch.

[Noy]

I would recommend Jim to anyone......

That man knows his $hit... myself and a few mates all have clutches built by Jim and have had NO problems, great guy to deal with too

not sure why this needs to be pubically aired, but it's your choice paul. all i'll remember from this thread was that some poor bastard had a piece of clutch or flywheel pierce his floor which would have to be one of the scariest things that could happen to someone in a car. I hope he is ok.

edit: I should add personally i would think it's better for you and Jim Berry if this thread went away, but it's up to you mate.

Ive got nothin to hide Richard...and either has Jim.....Unfortunately during the manufacturing process the defective pressure plate was not detected by normal quality control. Dont mean to scare people but this brand is a widely used pressure plate thats used in probably 25% of all GTR/GTS-t clutch upgrades.

The reason why its been publicly aired is to quell the bullsh1t and expose the truth...you got a problem with that?

[Beer Baron]

i didn't say i had a problem with it. i was just trying to give you some advice, and i never suggested you or jim had anything to hide. jeezuz is it just me or is everyone out to pick a fight these days?
