What clutchs are people using?
« on: November 01, 2014, 07:41:09 am »
Hi

There seems to be a few clutch kits out there but I'm after something that is still light on the pedal and feels pretty Oem, 330bhp 325ftlb

Helix organic and a new OEM DMF for me when I go stage 2+ early next year, heard it's very good for feel and handling the power and its pretty well priced.

It's torque that kills clutches, not power.

The Helix organic (same as one in the last group buy, and on Awesome GTI's website) has proven it's self to 420lb/ft without slipping  :happy2:

MC71 has one, he's running 360bhp and loads of torque.

Sachs, like Helix, do a kit to fit either the LUK or Sachs flywheel.

Stupid question, but how do you know which fly wheel you have? Is it a case of taking out the clutch and having a look at it or can chassis numbers be used to identify it?

 Sure I read that all GTIs have an LUK flywheel as standard??

If you are replacing the clutch, you may as well do the Flywheel while your at it - then you know for sure what flywheel you have  :happy2:

Fair enough. It's just that I've been running a 35% increase in torque for over a year now and fear I may be speeding up the eventual clutch failure so if I can get ahead of the game and keep an eye out for cheap parts when they pop up then I may not end up at the side of the road in tears. With no money. Or clutch.
