Thats fine if you have a sachs flywheel. If you have a luk then youre out of luck.

Of course I have the Sachs flywheel.
I didn't mention it because we are talking about clutches... :wink:

I also don't think that Luk is that bad... :confused:

OP,

As the peeps say, get the Organic Helix clutch and IMHO Id add a minty fresh OEM LUK DMF fitted at the same time. Alex can supply (and fit) the lot.

My Stage 2+ Eddy is more than happy with the Road Organic version one on board. When fitted Niki had the torque up to 420ft Lb with no slip.........wouldn't run that all the time though!  :laugh:

Pedal feel was around 50% stiffer than the OEM when first fitted but soon settled down a bit, it inspires so much confidence when pressing on. Great clutch.


With the manual stick shift Id also HIGHLY recommend to anyone a short (quick) shifter, 42 Draft Designs bushes and the AKS bracket bushes. With your new clutch and a nice solid gearstick your car, and your driving experience of it, will be transformed. Above parts are all listed in the Mods catalouge.


Anyone know?

From Helix's site.....

A sprung hub centre drive plate with heavy duty metal backed organic linings to give a more progressive engagement of the clutch.
Only available as a single plate clutch and must be used with the 69-110 series of clutch cover assemblies.

Witch helix and what kind of power figures would they be good too ?

The one I have (road)......

Whats the cost including fitment of the Organic Helix Clutch including a new OEM Dual Mass Flywheel going to be?
My local specialist has quoted me around £1200 for just a standard replacement clutch and DMF!

^^^^ Speak to Alex at AKSTuning, around £1100 but probably cheaper if there's a group buy.

Awesome GTI have the Helix clutch for £469, oem flywheel is £195 from eurocarparts iirc. I don't know if this includes certain bolts you need etc. What is different to this and what the £750 group buy option was?

The GB included all the flywheel bolts, cover bolts and slave cylinder.

Euros have dropped their price on the dmf since the group buy took place.
