Well it seems the 276ftlb of torque has finally got too much for my clutch. It keeps slipping, usually when I'm being lazy and overtake in 5th.

So, any recommendations?

sounds like time for the uprated clutch...about

Probably best part of a Couple of hundred for OEM parts Eddy.

Looks like you need to shop around. If you decide you want an OEM one again PM me, I have a contact.

Mine went this way coping with about the same amount of torque as your pushing. Don't know if 4wd box means different clutch, but mine was changed after 40K miles for a Sachs item from IP in Kent.

If you need to change your clutch I'd get an uprated one. The price difference isn't too evil, whereas replacing it again in a few years (if that long ) would be very annoying.

I'll definetely be replacing with an uprated item. The curent clutch has 55k.

Hello

Does some one tried or recommend a Kevlar clutch?

clutch's are the same between 2WD and 4WD

skoda dealer by near quoted

my clutch has just been replaced, 3rd clutch in 3 years and this time it went good and proper, i had mine done at jabba and they fitted the g60 clutch and flywheel and the change is amazing, it feels alot lighter but the change is nice and the way it puts down the power is awesome, cost me about

Still not sure what to do, will be speaking to JBS tomorrow to see what they have.

Bengie, I probably will go big turbo in the future but I'm reluctant to lose the low ratio 5 speed box. BTW I now have an R32 haldex unit in my garage as a spare.

Will you be going for the single mass flywheel? apparently it makes it feel like a different car?

Not sure as JBS recommend sticking with dual mass with their kevlar clutch kits.

Really unsure what route to take at the moment.

is th haldex any different then eddy?

is th haldex any different then eddy?

Not sure TBH, I bought it for the ECU as mine has a fault on it, figured I may as well keep the main unit as a spare as most people are unsure if the 4x4 unit is as strong as the R32's.

good thinking batman

How heavy are standard clutch kits with flywheel bla bla? kilos please ? If they make that much of a difference I'll go for an aftermarket model myself.

So what are the pro's and con's of having a lightened single mass flywheel instead of the standard dual mass item?

revs slightly quicker/easier and the power bites quicker as the dual mass gubbins isn't there to soak anything up

Eddie,

I have the dual mass kevlar from jbs.

It does the job.

It's defo not as free spooling as a single mass, but then I understand the sach's stuff has had problems, then again everything does if you listen enough.

Have a chat to them as the kevlar needs a clean faceplate and that in it'self causes a few problems.

IIRC it was circa 850 inc fitting.

Once engaged it's sweet as a little hobo, I do find it a little juddery in town and crawling on the M6 in 1st.

HTH.

Do you experience any judder with the single mass flywheel?

So how much do regular clutches weigh compared to after market units? Anyone?

Apparently the dual mass clutch eliminates the "kangarooing" effect when crawling in traffic.

You would have thought the single mass fw means this increase but apparently it's minimal according to peoples experiences.

not a lot of difference in day to day driving really

mil, no idea on weights mate. sorry

Ok Bengie. Thanks anyway
