Ultimate 16v Clutch Kit

[vwtype53 at yahoo.com (Ben Harder)]

Guido!

Great to see your name again... 'tis been a while since I've talked
to you.  (Like way back at ND '01...)

As for a clutch... you are asking almost an identical question to
what I was hoping to find out as well.  I have heard great results
from a few people using the Centerforce clutch setup, which
is my most possible choice.  Other option I heard about from TT
was their 4-puck race disks and stage 1 pressure plate.  Might be
a bit too agressive for my taste, and pricey too.

Wish I could find more sources for clutch parts... anyone else?

Ben

PS.  Are you absolutely positively *sure* you want to go with a
0.71 fifth gear in your ordered trans?  I have tried a similar setup
and would highly recommend the 0.75 instead... assuming you would
like to have a very good highway gear without quite the extreme
drop from 4th to 5th.  Just my thought of course!  ;)
