cable clutch? where does the clutch engage? AFAIK you can install a VR6 clutch upgrade... 1.9's should be able to hold quite a bit of power before letting go... what is your driving style like? the more you ride/play the clutch, the more it will wear...

What car? You need 02A tranny for VR6 clutch.

I run a AZZ in a mk2, boost, pin, fuel increase, 2.5 inch turbo back exhaust, FMIC, K-24, you know the usual haha, and i just put in another stock clutch, this one now has about 800km on it, and is slipping already, I will be going 6 puck soon. That being said i run an 020 small w/small spline, I belive a big spline set up, with the larger clutch surface would be able to take more punishment.
Also my driving style is um... spirited.

hmmm :lol: is it in launches that you feel it slip, or is it when you really stomp on it and boost is going crazy?

i've driven a vw where the clutch would just break loose because of the power... very fun car to drive until that started to happen

What are you using for a pressure plate?

I had my 98 TDI jetta chipped and bigger nozzles and everytime i launched with anything more than 1/2 throttle you could smell the clutch cooking. My friend bought the car but without the nozzles and it's still the same clutch after a year. All to say -yes you need a VR6 clutch and pressure plate.
