experience with g60 fly and vr clutch conversion?
« on: 12 March 2012, 20:18 »
hi all, just wondering what experiences you have had fitting or once fitted one of these conversion kits,

iv baught one of these : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A3-1-8T-TURBO-AGU-FLYWHEEL-CARBON-KEVLAR-CLUTCH-/260847192898?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cbbb44b42#ht_1732wt_1270

keeping a ling story short, the friction plate is fouling the bellhousing, anybody had any trouble fitting these kits?

My agu will not turn over because of the abouve clearence issues, i thaught these kits where meant to be a direct swap?

any ideas will be greatly recieved

Thanx.
ShoozY
