Title: how much torque does it have?
Post by: SMOKEYDUB on September 30, 2006, 08:31:40 pm: ENOUGH TO SNAP THE PRESSURE PLATE IN 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :evil: anyways i gave it a nice real good regular beating and my clutch started acting up doin all sorts of weird things so i drove it for another week(with beatings) and finally wouldnt go in to gear when idling or revving or anything. So i headed ove to the doc's shop and pulle the tranny out :shock: WOW i unbolted the flywheel and the pressure plate and metal pieces fell on the ground. most people would be pissed that there new clutch setup went for a crap but not me i started howling :D just thought i would share with guys 8) if your wondering what i have for a clutch setup its a stock 16v pressure plate with a copper ceramic pucked disc and a lightened fly wheel all of it which is 210 mm.

And of course a 02a tranny. Think over it, maybe it is time to get a better tranny. It would be a shame to spend $ on a new clutch and trash the tranny.

Post by: SMOKEYDUB on October 01, 2006, 11:39:15 am: no tranny problems. Well i had a ring gear come apart once and reverse a couple of times. i was thinking of running that setup just need to find a passat. O CRAP! i have one sitting in my driveway, but i think itsa to good to part out.
