rm2was 0 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Evening all, so my plan to keep my DSG failed and I'm going to swap to a manual 4motion setup. are there any performance clutches available? I've had a quick search and none seem to be popping up. Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 helix do some, dependong on wether or not you want dual mass or a single conversion ? Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yeah, I've got a helix clutch/flywheel combo in mine, not bad money either Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Depends if your upping the power?Standard clutch on the R32 is good for lots of power. I know of people with supercharged R32s on standard clutch.Mines an uprated southbend clutch what's good for about 500ftlb torque Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I've been looking at helix clutch and flywheel and they are well priced and good bit of kit. Link to post Share on other sites

rm2was 0 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Cheers for the replies, I did have a 4 motion box lined up to purchase, but lucked upon a mk5 R32 one instead, which I think should have better suited gearing for my R32 engine. I think I'm going to try a stock R32 clutch to begin with, then if/when that fails I'll try something better. My budget is very tight so if I can hold out till next year for a new clutch it'll keep the mrs happy. Hopefully with my lightweight car and 2wd it won't stress the clutch too much.I'm also having to stick with the dual mass too for now, but I do have a plan for a solid one shortly.Something you may find interesting, I weighed both the gear boxes as I had them off, mk5 R32 DSG box including the transfer - 97.5kgs! Yes that was heavy on my own to pull off.mk5 R32 manual box including the transfer - 67 kgsthat's not a bad weight saving. Link to post Share on other sites
MaidenVR6 26 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Get a twindisc Clutchmasters FX850 and be done with it. At least if your turboing it, and aiming high. Supercharger doesnt have near the same torque as a turbo R32. Thats why some supercharger and low boost turbo R32s can use the stock clutch as long as it lasts. Clutchnet,Spec,Southbend, streetwerke and all the others are nothing to rely on if your going 400+whp. Ive been there, and 3 off my best mates been there also. Two off them blowing big holes in their 02M casings. Thats nice, right? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Clutchmasters are big money. I have a southbend clutch in my turbo'd R32 and thats handling it fine. Rated to 520ftlb torque Link to post Share on other sites
