  • Clutch choice's what to get??

    Clutch blew last summer and was finally able to get around to pulling trans out
    looking for a choice's for clutch and pressure plate replacements
    engine is bored out 1.8 g60 block with turbo about 290 hp with FBW 5 speed trans from mk4 1.8 T
    I have a lightened G60 flywheel allready
    clutch was SPEC
    something for daily to spirited driving with out a heavy pedal
    what and where to get it locally if possible
    also need so aluminum welding done, any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I'd go with a Southbend Stage 2 Daily, maybe stage 3.

    We do Tig welding at Calgary Autoworks.

      They set me up with a southbend stage 2 on my 16vT mk2, and a stage 3 on my 1.8T mk2, and both were great. the stage 3 was surprisingly drivable.

      I had a spec stage 3 on the 1.8T build before, and it felt a bit like an on/off switch.

        I have/had a Spec in my allroad and it is awful and now failed. Awaiting some time to put a Southbend in.

          going with Southbend stage 3, stage 2 seems it is boarder line on the power, stage 3 might be some overkill but at least it will hold
          Pulled out a Spec due to failure, pressure plate fingers failed
