Title: 16v Fast Road Clutches?? Can someone recommend a good one please?
Post by: gixerthrasher on 16 May 2008, 19:38: I so need a new clutch for my standard '90 16v GTi..
Has anyone fitted a Techniclutch Fast Road Clutch from e-Bay, they seem ok for under Ã‚£100!
Also pleased with me Black Diamond brakes, & wondered what their clutches are like?
Any info' would be V helpful, thanks..

Post by: Goops on 18 May 2008, 02:29: I have noticed that my clutch sits slightly higher than the other pedals, i have to depress it slightly to get it onto the same elevation as the brake pedal before i can actually "feel" it bite ...

So a Sachs Sports Clutch looks to be on the list then! :grin:
Does the pedal feel any different from the standard 16v system in place?
Eventually will head to the 1.8t, will this system suffice at that stage? :undecided:

That could be because the stopper (don't know what to call it) is missing from the top of the clutch pedal. Its just a little bung that stops the pedal returning too far allowing it to line up with the break pedal.

Post by: Goops on 18 May 2008, 22:04: Cheers dude, aiming to sort that out next weekend!
I have seen some of those rubber pedals covers on ebay but where can i find the cover/metal plate for the accelerator pedal? Kinda worn out (for obvious reasons)
