Dunno about that Holland... a Sachs replacement clutch is the 1.8l version only. I guess they don't hold up to the extra torque as well. I just bought a new 2.0l version from Mike Potter http:\\www.parts4vws.com and he told me that the 2.0l version is definately stronger... my 1.8l lining fell off after only a few thousand miles (7500). The 2.0l version dosen't feel any different though. Later, Clayton

Even a stock Sachs 16V clutch should last at least 50K, even with a LOT of abuse, and well over 100K is not unheard of. > Anyway I would like to install a heavy duty clutch, and need info on what > works and what doesn't.

Before you go installing an expensive trick clutch, you need to find out what's killing the stock ones. Once you've done that and corrected whatever the problem is, then I suggest a ClutchMaster's Stage 3 clutch package. - --Holland Forced Failure Racing Don't Ask MotorSports [email protected] a2_16V List Owner [email protected] San Jose, California _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
