1.8t and Stock Clutch

Re: 1.8t and Stock Clutch

OEM VR6 Sach's Clutch with Autotech Lightened g60 flywheel (10lbs)

its definately a noticeable difference. Car pulls faster to the red line and feels much faster. Maybe it was because my previous clutch was so shitty that it never caught 100% though and now it finally does.

Nice combo.

How do you find the lightened flywheel? Do the rpm's drop pretty quickly when you let off the gas? And is there any noise with the new setup?

I'd like a lighter flywheel, but I went with a buddy to waterfest in a mk3 that had a lightened flywheel -- and highway driving was almost painful. Every time I took my foot of the gas, the car would drastically slow down. So how is the 10lb on a mk4?

Re: 1.8t and Stock Clutch

the rev's dropping increase is somewhat noticeable, but definately not hindering. Car doesnt slow down more (than I can tell) than before, but then again my eye is not an exact measurement. What is cool to watch is when you put the clutch in, the rev's drop twice as quickly as they did before when putting the clutch in, so there is some difference in daily driveability in that you have to rev-match sometimes to keep the rev's up (or else just shfit super fast)
