My monster is mean to my clutch - help

[Smokey Eddy]

You may want to contact a guy called BleachedBora from tdiclub. He carries SouthBend clutches for good prices and a lot of guys run them on their modded tdi's with good results.

thanks for the info rallydiesel. =)
However, his pricing is slightly out of reach. I'm happy with clutchnet i think.

[rallydiesel]

Yeah, I just looked at idparts.com. Over $400 for stage 3. But its good for over 425 lbs.ft.!!!  Although stage 1 is $299 and holds 330 lbs.ft. But then you could just go to a VR6 clutch which should be good for around 300 lbs.ft.

What type of flywheel do you have? The backwards stock 1.6 type?

[Smokey Eddy]

hmph. well whats his nuts said he was pushing 220 out of an AAZ and i doubt im there with my little 1.6 so i am not worried about it.

I have no idea... im going to assume it's never been tampered with and if it has it was a straight swap from a junk yard car.

Does this make sense? I was going 80 in the rain and i was in third, sort of ... accelerating quickly, you know? and i put my foot to the floor and the speedo jumped to 100. Is there any chance my drive shafts are slipping inside the transmission?

[rallydiesel]

If your speedo jumped then your clutch wasn't slipping.

[Smokey Eddy]

Well the speedo doesn't always jump. it's obvious when the clutch slips... the car slows down, the rpm just SKY rockets and it usually happens on the low end, going up steep hills and what have you. I can't do burn outs anymore the clutch just slips. Even in the wet it won't really do it that readily. Not very grabby at all... very sponge like. Spelling? sponge... spongue
sponge bob square pants

I didn't know Bora stocked spec. I was quoted $175/usd from dxd motors for a southbend 4 puck sprung and hd pressureplate.


I have a spec 6 puck here. It looks beefy, only thing that worries me is the small rivets holding the material on. Straps are nice, springs look good. It;s the stage 3.1 from 032 motorsports - supposed to be good for 400ft/lbs.

I got the 020 6 puck sprung drag clutch kit from Bildon Motor Sport. should ship shortly. The clutch, pressure plate and a tool were $342 shipped.

I ordered a kit from bildon about a month ago and havnt heard from them yet, despite them having debited my CC $500 AUD.

Anyone else having trouble contacting them? They havnt replied to my emails.... I would call them on the phone but time difference is the killer.

[Smokey Eddy]

Ooooo dear... =( =\
I'll call them tomorrow.

Let me know what they say. I am really in need of the parts too.

[Smokey Eddy]

It just rang and rang and rang ...
They are three hours ahead of me so it would have been 2:40pm. Is it safe for one to assume this would be normal business hours?
I think it's time to contact authorities in your case. im going to give them three days. unless the money is never withdrawn from my CC account.
Edit: just checked; the money was withdrawn from my account at the "time of sale".

[gldgti]

ahh crap.

This is bad news.

[macka]

Is anybody near Pittsburgh able to drop in and see if they are open still?
