hiya folks :orb_wave: im just after abit of hands on info about single and lightened flywheel conversions ?

just been peeking around and asking , 1 in particular from awesome is the ecs tunning range such as stage 2 really seeing how my foot can get lol

Volkswagen Golf / GTI IV 1.8T Drivetrain Clutch

the biggest hmm:orb_scare is that ive had it mentioned to me about gearbox rattle?

so 1 really has anyone got this and how bad is it?

2 ive been looking at kits with smf around 14lbs and steel, do these drive similar to stock?

3 lol i dunno lol any other thoughts i supose

cheers dudes :orb_clap:

I can only say avoid anything which is "lightened" - look for stuff which is just lighter off the shelf.

HI m8

i fitted an uprated clutch an lightweight flywheel about a month ago an my car drives fine, seems a little bit more responsive too,

ive heard a car with a rattly noise but mines fine, maybe mines different?

the only noise ive heard is at low speed which is probably the springs in the friction plate,

no issues with mine yet,

i would recommend 1

Which kit did you go for in the end mate?

the 1 ecs do is steel and 14lbs it is also manufactured that way? i spotted one on jabba site too which is lightened ,

ive been told any rattle is only when the car is in neutral and the clutch pedal is up? just gathering peoples thoughts and experience :orb_readi

the other ive heard is if you can find a sachs agent and get the vr6 power clutch and a oe g60 flywheel which is 21 or 22lbs? but vw guys said there was a few options on the flywheels? huh? lol the ecs tunning stage 2 was around 400 i think and ok for 300lbs?

The flywheel that you get in the G60 clutch set up , os the G60 set up

We do the kits @ £320.00 + VAT

That includes EVERYTHING to do the conversion

Then there is the ECS one

In my opinion , much of a muchness

We have sold LOADS of the ECS stage 1 kits @ £275 + VAT

Any clutch kit that contains the SMF will add a bit of noise

That is because you are replacing the DMF to SMF

It is not THAT bad , and as you have rightly said , it is only on tickover with your foot off the clutch pedal

If you want to remove the noise , you just put your foot on the pedal

But I dont think it is that bad

As I said , we have done loads

hiya sarah, i think it was yourself that quoted me on the completes stage 2 ecs kit with the steel wheel thankin you :orb_wave:

my mk1 1.8t suffered no extra rattle or noise using a SMF, i think its only the 6 speed box that is affected.

worth doing then mate , thanks again bengie mate :orb_not_w

bengie the ever informed :orb_cool: cheers dude

Which kit did you go for in the end mate?
