can feel my clutch starting to slip. so i'll have to replace the plate,however here's a thought, i want to do a engine up grade from a 16jx to a 1.9 diesel later, probley it'll be a tdi, has anyone fitted the bigger clutch plate you need to a 16jx and ran it? (remember its just a thought)

From memory, the flywheel limits the size of the clutch.
If you want to go up in size, it'll mean changing the lot.
TBH, unless you're running silly boost, a chargecooler, oil cooler and are approacing 100bhp... you're unlikely to need a stronger clutch than stock.
The standard unit is usually more than capable for the JX in all but the most extreme applications.

As the man says the flywheel will be the limiting factor and is the correct size and has the drillings for a JX clutch only.  Normally the only way of fitting a clutch capable of coping significant power increases within the diameter of a standard flywheel would be to fit a paddle clutch, but this is generally a Motorsport application.
