Re: (FourSeasonTuning.com)

Recently was in a bind with needing a clutch for my 01 1.8T 5spd and FourSeasonTuning really helped out with overnite shipping! Great price on the 1.8T clutch kit VR6 upgrade too.
Thanks James http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

what would be a good street application? I'm thinking my clutch will be out in another 30k or so, is the lightweight fly wheel going to affect the longevity of the engine? Only mods done currently are intake and turbo-back. ( Then TIP, Chip, ungraded inter-cooler AND suspension and brakes are coming later)

Stage 1 or 1+ would also work for most chipped cars w/o larger turbo upgrade. The 12.5-14 pound flywheels have been used for quite some time with no issues.
The stock flywheels range from 22-25 pounds depending on the diameter.
Yes stage 2 could work before and after mods.

Re: (FourSeasonTuning.com)

whats the major benefit of the 14lb flywheel. also. since its 7-8lbs lighter does that make it LESS durable? or more unstable?

Re: Sale Sachs & Clutchnet Clutch kits W/ flywheel From $324.99 Shipped (stevec1.8t)

The Sale price mainly ( first to offer it for less than $325, when MSRP is $425) as the kits use the same Sachs pressure plate, Sachs Disc and Sachs release bearing. Our kits also include new OE flywheel and pressure plate bolts along with a plastic alignment tool ( it does not need to be metal as they don't wear out that easy).
These kits are almost Identical to the OEM Corrado G60 setup ( the only difference is the weight of current flywheel, IIRC the G60 flywheel were 17.75 pounds). The 228MM single mass design has been proven very durable over the years. Used on all Corrados, Passat's B3-B4 , all MK3 MK4 12V VR6 ( the only difference when used on a VR6 are the amount of holes in the flywheel).
Many users have chosen to lighten their existing flywheel or purchased lighter ones. The 14 pound flywheel still offers stock like Driveability. Another plus side is that the single mass flywheel can be easily resurfaced and reused with a 12V VR6 clutch kit when replacement is needed ( 5 speed users only).

I purchased
1.8T Clutch Kits $324.95 (228MM Sachs VR6 Clutch Kit 14 pound Cast Steel Flywheel W/ Starter ring gear Includes 6 flywheel and pressure plate bolts, Alignment tool as shown)
1.8T Single Mass Clutch W/ Cast Steel Flywheel
Any my mechanic is saying there is size difference that is making him question if it will fit into my 1.8T 2002.....he's comparing it to the current stock clutch that he's replacing...
Should I be nervous or is there any sort of detail that I can relay to him?
Thanks,

I am in need of a clutch SOON so I am looking at the S3 kit. My friend with a VRT is running this with the 14lb fw and loves it. I am running a K04-022, FMIC, 3"tb... ect for what its worth.
For the extra $124 is the 10lb flywheel a major improvement over the 14? Also isnt the 10lb weight without the ring gear? whats the actual weights of both flywheels with the starter gear installed?
Most of my driving is highway to work, and beating on it in the streets and strip. I can deal with the 10lb FW chatter I guess

Re: (kkkustom)

Is your car a 5 sp or a 6 sp?
The 10 pound is a steel billet flywheel that is weighed w/o the starter ring gear on, so with ring gear attached it weighs 12.5. The 14 pound flywheel (are weighed w/ the ring gear on) is a cast part and cost less than a billet part. The steel billet flywheel with take more of a beating.
