clutch

[gldgti]

Hey guys,

I am wondering of someone can help me with recommending a clutch disk. My Mk3 diesel is slipping its new (less than 2000km old) standard 210mm 1.9TD (not TDI) 020 clutch.

Basically, I am after an upgrade 210mm clutch disk only.

I want a sprung hub (for daily driving) and needs to be sized for small input shaft size (not 16V box).

If anyone can put me onto a supplier in australia that can sell me something that would be great. All my current parts suppliers only want to sell me standard bits.

I see no reason that my stock flywheel and pressure plate should not be good enough, the standard diesel pressure plate is about hte biggest 210mm 020 one anyway. I know you can get "race" clutches from Techtonics tuning but they do not have sprung hubs.

Cheers
Aydan

There's probably someone locally that could reline one for you, one of the racers might know.

Thanks a lot Pete, marvy.

Praytell, why would I need it to be relined? (or do you mean, once I wear it out?)

What I meant was that maybe someone locally could reline a stock disc with something stickier. I think there's a chap in Perth with a good reputation for building clutches but the name escapes me. I'll ask a friend on Sunday at SEDF who'll know.

ahh i see.

i think i've got permission to spend on the spec item, but i'd certianly be interested to know about relining since it think it would be a good candidate, rather than the standard unit.
