Mk3 02O Clutches...

[Golfer]

Hey guys,

Sorry to start yet another thread, but i need some Mk3 specific tech advice...

My clutch isn't far away from giving up the ghost, and i want to replace it with something substantial (although this may end up with my 02O gearbox casing looking like Sean's old one)

Two things -

1. What clutch kit would be best used on this motor/box combination (2E/02O) and are there more, performance, kits avaliable at reasonable prices...

2. Are they easy to fit for somone with a little bit of mechanical experience, a basic tool set and NO WORKSHOP MANUAL!!!???

Consider that in the future i may do something stupid like hmmm... turbo , but will be at least camming and chipping in the next 12 months... After all, I'll have to keep up with all the SEQ boyzzzz

Thanks in advance guys, even if all i get is a decent aftermarket standard clutch kit, some rough prices and a yay or nay on the self install....

Cheers!!!
John

Expect to pay $300 for a Genuine German Clutch kit including pressure plate.

Easy to fit.

Sports ones are prolly a waste of money untill you get some serious power.

Fit a standard Luk or Sachs clutch, i've found that there good, you get 100,000+ kms on it easy.

Yeah the LUK are the GO they are OEM.

Are they easy to get in oz? I won't have to order it in from o/s will I?

Tooleys have LUK Clutches. I think I have a new unused one in the workshop somewhere too.
