• Clutch Upgrade by ryanp on 18 Feb, 2010 07:46
• I've fitted a blown 1y engine/box to my dad's mk1 caddy
  
  what cheap/uprated clutch can i fit to hold with a mildly tuned engine?? the stock one now is slipping like a ***, either due to oil contamination or just wear (most probable as it's right at the top of the pedal!)
  
  I'm running the Mk3 gearbox so i'm assuming i need the complete mk2 golf 16v setup?
  
  I know i should have changed it whist the engine was out but that's too easy, lol!
  
  Thanks!

• being at the end of the pedal could just be a mis-adjusted clutch cable. but if its slipping, i would change it out no matter what. and yea, an aba or 16v clutch kit will work just fine.

• Stock should be able to handle a 1Y

• it's got a turbo too i might as well upgrade a little to make it worthwhile.
  
  the clutch cable adjustment cant make the pedal any better.
  
  I'll check a UK forum to see what those guy's fit

• if you have a standard 020 trans (small 24 spline input shaft) and you want an uprated stock clutch, then you need an 8v clutch disk and 16v pressure plate. if you have a large spline 16v/mk3 020, then you can just use a straight 16v clutch setup.
