Hi there, need some advise im fitting a 6 speed cupra r box to my AGU engine and want to fit a Valeo single mass clutch kit but the engine codes dont match from euro parts, will it still fit my car / engine
you advise would be most appreciated

I'm fairly sure that the vr6/ g60 setup doesn't work on the 6 spd box only the 5.

Correct it does not fit the 6spd.

the 5 speed single mass kits for your car won't fit if you go 6 speed mate. they use a 228mm clutch.
you;'ll need the clutch and flywheel setup from a 6 speed car, which uses a 240mm clutch with a different slave cylinder arrangement also.
You'll also need the driveshafts, starter motor, clutch hydro line, and power steering pipe from the 6 speed car, as well as possibly a speedo drive plug depending on the age of yours, and possibly the whole shifter mech and cables too, again depending on the age of your AGU.

Picked up a Valeo SMF coversation kit, managed to get it for £290.00 which i didnt think was a bad price, have you had any issues ???
-
The standard DMF and clutch are good for over 400 BHP.

Pretty certain I paid about £230 for mine, It does rattle a little on idle,
If I were to do it again I would probably stay with DMF

Thanks for your suggestions lads, I'm going to give the SMF and clutch a go and see how it feels for now, wish id never got into the idea of the 6 speed now, its been a nightmare trying to get all the parts together :rolleyes: but does anyone no where i can get a secondhand power steer pipe from the pump vein to the steering rack but of a 6 speed box ???

Theres a breaker in matlock who breaks only mk4s he got a sh!t load of parts. I went to him again on sunday. If you want hisndetails pm me. He has alot of stuff TRUST ME lol

After careful consideration im not putting the 6 speed box on now !!! :undecided: sticking to the 5 speed unit and going to go down the route of fitting a LSD and quaifile gear box instead
Any one have any ideas of how to go about doing this now ???

Shame man.
Going 6 speed was one of the best things I ever did for the car, feels amazing.

Now, this is an odd topic this one.
On Paper, it's really very little difference between 5th on the 5 speed and 6th on the 6 speed.
The difference in RPM at 70 isn't much at all, and I didn't expect to notice any difference.
but my god, it's REALLY different isn't it?
SOOOO much quieter and more calm on the motorway!
