Can anyone recommend a firm who can rebuild a complete clutch unit, for a rare german car, please.

Oh sounds interesting what is it, it might be German and rare but the clutch is probably the same as something else.

Ok, its for a NSU 1200 Automatik, which has a vacuum operated clutch which works by manually selecting from a three speed gearbox, therefore not a conventional automatic. The clutch does not appear to have any common parts with any other NSU (I'm a member of the Owners Club) although the clutch plate from the Prinz 4 can be made to fit by grinding down a lip. All other parts including the diaphragm are at present problematical.
Hence I'm open to suggestions!

You could contact http://www.luk.co.uk/content.luk.co.uk/en/index.jsp who are clutch manufacturers it wont be listed on the site but they may help.
Alternatively there are a few autosport specialist clutch makers who may possibly custom make one for you.

OK so im guessing its the saxomat clutch and that you have seen the video on youtube and contacted the owner.

I am in the process of rebuilding an NSURo80 3 speed semi automatic with a servo operated clutch, and was wondering if you could use a unit from this car rather than trying to search for a diaphragm for your unit. The clutch plate will probably be different however, and I cannot find a supplier for my vehicle either.
