Title: Quick word of warning upgrading clutch
Post by: joshstanvw on 01 January 2014, 00:38
Like the title says when updating to a g60 vr6 setup DO NOT USE A CHEAP CLUTCH I have just taken mine out (6months old) that was done by previous owner and the clutch had fallen to peices the bit that holds the springs in place had shattered so I have replaced with a brand new 3 price Sachs vr6 clutch so hopefully will be all good for a while yet

I bought a Sachs clutch from euro car parts cost me 79 quid all in and first impressions are good nice bite but I'm not sure whether it would hold 400 bhp lol but I have noticed since putting the Sachs in the clutch is soooo light I'm sure I could disengage it by breathing in that general direction
