Had a search can anyone point me to what I need for a single mass flywheel conversion (such as which flywheel, g60?) as well as the VR6 clutch (presuming it compatible). As I have read a number of guys doing this, but I can't seem to see any part numbers plus everything I need as well as estimated cost, so if anyone can help out, much appreciated as clutch is going out.

Thanks for that, any advantages in which VR6 clutch I go for?
-
Heard nothing but good things about the Sachs clutch, I run the Techniclutch version which is also very good :smiley:
-
yeh sachs vr6 clutch and stock G60 flywheel. Benefits are lighter than normal dual mass flywheel which helps with power. You'll never have to replace a G60 single mass flywheel, unlike the standard dual mass flywheel which your supposed to change everytime you change clutch
-
Thanks any advice onwhee to buy the clutch kit's from as that site does not work in the suggested link?
Also in the kit do you get release bearings etc as I noticed I need new bolts?
-
new bolts from the dealers, numbers are in the link posted above. Sachs clutch kit from vwspares :smiley:

Thanks
HEad down to stealers soon, VWSpares use to be 10min away I was like no.1 customer there, shame it shut down and merged with one of the other shops it has due to lack of sales in our area :(
Also can you confirm which clutch kit/number it is:
Mk4: (Cannot see a 3.2, so I'm assuming its the 2.8? + which engine code?)

you need the mk3 VR6 clutch
2.8 VR6 Sachs 3000.384.001
looks like they are out of stock, might be worth giving them a call

Thanks wazzer, will give them a call and order it in soonish, nothings going right this month, HTC phone broke and not covered in warranty and now clutch :sad:

dont know if its in the other thread, but if you got an old 02a flywheel, the dealership will take it in and give you a discount on a new one. I got ahold of a f**ked flywheel (someone tried to machine it to lighten it :rolleyes: ) and I got a new one for under £100.
-
oh and i think the discount was around £20-30.
you can pick up used 02a flywheels off here and other forums cheap though.

VR6 clutch kit with G60 flywheel is one of the best upgrades you can do to your vehicle. Best advantage of SMF over DMF is getting rid of the unwanted vibrations. You will also pick up durability and the kit will last longer. It is also good for up to 300ft/lbs (US) and 300hp so this is perfect for cars with light to medium power upgrades. Just be careful, because the g60 flywheel is also available in lightweight (14.25lbs), although this will make the car rev faster and more responsive, it might make chatter when clutch is disengaged.
-
Thats a good bit of information as ive been looking around and most places say the kit is on good for 250bhp.
Would be good to get feedback if people are running more bhp on a similar kit and if there having any problems
-
Ok so what are the pro's and cons of the 14lb g60 wheel and how do you differentiate between them (part numbers?). I got a child on the way so performance is not on the high end but I would like it, will it cause too much discomfort etc... Plus I am not sure if this golf will end up being a long term project or not yet (as I am thinking maybe getting a new car and keeping golf, or heading for a 6j chassis ibiza 1.8t for a project), so I'd like to consider pro's and con's before heading into it.
-
Sorry just a bit of a hijack, has anyone or knows anyone that has fitted the luk clutch and abf flywheel?
-
Sachs ftw
I got the lighter g60 flywheel and it does vibrate a little when you rev with the clutch disengaged. So you get a tractor noise from the box lol.
