Mkv gti. Standard clutch OK for stage 2 ish tune?

[bennjamin]

hi all. As per the title....


I will install a wavetrack or quaife soonish - and change the clutch at the same time. Just a question

Can a standard clutch take a stage 2 or equivalent ( about 400nm apparently?) tune ? I will not be drag racing. Just track days.

In the short term it will survive, but you would be wise to put the money aside for the inevitable.

cheers for the quick reply. I ask as google tells me mixed reviews - pressure plate , disc or both not quite sure. What combo would YOU suggest ?

Also , would it be overkill to replace the DMF at the same time ? There is a couple of LUK items on ebay for a reasonable price. Getting it swapped out at a VW dealer or even normal mech is an expensive exercise

If you leave it until it starts to slip the chances are the DMF will be toast. Unless you are doing it yourself and pull the gearbox first before ordering the bits, you'll never know.

Personally, I'd get everything and be done. Should be less than 4 hours labour to do the job.

Thanks again - I do realise you misunderstood my initial post tho hehe - sorry mate!

What I meant was

Will a NEW standard clutch kit suffice a stage 2 (+/- 400nm) setup ?
And should I install a new DMF at the same time ?

PS I will be doing all labour , hence thinking of replacing all parts at the same time

A new standard one would do the job however, if you can get a cover with more clamping, it would be better in the long run.

Saves having to do the job twice.

There are uprated kits, I can't give you a recommendation though.
