Re: New affordable Sachs Clutch!

>So, what is your reccomendation? The Power clutch PP with the 2.0L 16v disc?

Sound like it might be a good plan!  I use the 2L 16v disc and a Sachs
sport PP...great hook up, heavy clutch action, but not too bad.  The Sport
PP from Sachs is a bit pricey however...real positive clutch action with
this combo though.  Potterman used me a test bed here without telling
me! :)  Of course, he only told me that after he drove my car at
WF 99...said he liked it quite a bit and thought the Sachs sport plate
would have a 'too stiff for the street pedal', but it's not.

Go for the 2.0 disc IMO.  Available.  Really good.  Not too expensive.  All
the best qualities! :)

later!
