on a 085 type gearbox? stock TD parts handle pretty much all the torque you can throw at them with a 1.6 engine

mega upgrade:
020 type gearbox, G60 transmissions, G60 flywheel and vr6 clutch
pretty bombproof until things get really interesting on the engine side (250hp++)

Is the VR6 clutch/flywheel a direct swap in for the 020 behind a 1.6?  (timing marks are different obviously)

There are other options, but something like this could be a real on off switch. I went with a 1.9L pressure plate, but this is available for a 1.6L as well.

I believe if it is 26 small spline then it should.
