Ready to race!
Hey guys,
Haven't been active on here since my last clutch replacement.
To set up my situation I'll start off by talking about my last clutch replacement. At 36k my stock clutch began slipping... After looking at multiple clutch options including drop-Ins (which my shop refused to install) I ended up going for the stage 2 daily Southbend clutch. That clutch lasted 60k. I am now at 96k with clutch slippage. If you guys want a review of my experience, I will gladly wrote one.
However, I am here to talk about my current situation. I've been looking into new clutch options. The Sachs option has been the most attractive one, as it is a dual mass flywheel set up and therefore more quiet. It is also more durable than the original stock clutch. This finally gets me to the question I want to ask... Finally.
After going to the Southbend which is currently on my car, a single mass flywheel, can I go back to a dual mass fly wheel set up (Sachs)? The Sachs kit comes with the clutch and pressure plate. No mention of a flywheel.
I'm thinking this can't be done... But I'm asking. So any input would be welcome.
Here's the clutch
