stock clutch is WAY out of his price range… in order to use the stock clutch he would need a new dual mass set up… $$$
and to skateshelter, do you ever listen to people, or are you dumb? i sent you clutch info a while ago. but maybe your boyz at goodyear might have some imput thats better. :idiots

Complete kit includes flywheel pressure plate disc and all hardware. Mk4 Golf Jetta and Beetle 1.8T 2.0L & TDI cars will damage the stock dual mass flywheel when the clutch starts slipping.

This kit will retain stock like pedal characteristics along with much improved clamping force & larger diameter clutch assembly. Lighter OEM Steel flywheel only 14lbs versus 22 lbs of the stock 1.8T. This is not a lightened modified OEM flywheel like others.

ECS has good pricing. go with that one. it’ll work out fine. and its less than the OEM and should hold up well.

for what hes got, and will ever do. its plenty. this clutch is the same basic clutch pete(30rlogikless) had in his car on his 50trim and the 30r for a bit. only difference was the brand selling it… same G60 flywheel, same VR6 clutch disk.
