almost time for a new clutch... any suggestions??

[snipa_mini85]

So, I received news a little while ago that my 2000 Jetta 2.0 is going to need a new clutch soon. I was just wondering if anybody has any suggestions or preferences of what to go with for aftermarket rather than a stock clutch?

I'm not looking for anything to drastic, just something that will do the daily job plus a little extra.

Also, anybody have experience ordering from ecstuning at all?? or any other sites in the states that offer better prices??

With a 2.0L I think a performance clutch would be a waste of money. Just go with a stock unit.

would it make a difference with longevity between the two though? That's my main concern since I want to keep the car for a while.

oem vr6

I agree with what has been said already.

I would keep your stock flywheel and get an oem clutch.

High performance clutches and flywheels won't give you the OEM feel which IMO is a nice thing especially on a 2.0L. Having clutch chatter on a 2.slo would be embarassing

my 2L clutch lasted 208000km, that's long enough no?

Dam, I'm only 10k away from that mark

heh.. my TDI one did right around 200000 too.
Went with a lightened flywheel and VR6 clutch in the TDI, but stayed with stock on the 2.0.
