what do u mean by g60 flywheel? is it the one from corrado g6o or golf? is it 240mm? i just dont want to pay a lot and i have access for many second hand engines but mostly 2wheel drive and i can the flywheel from them for free

What flywheel can you get free? Because unless you want a sm flywheel there at least a few hundred pounds or more,I would stick with dm and buy a sachs clutch witch should be ok for you unless your going above 350bhp,the g60 flywheel is from a golf but what are your plans for the car? as I went down this route and went through a few clutch kits myself I would rather spend a little more than skimp on clutch kit as you will regret it latter on what engine code you plan on putting in?

i wanna keep it stock for daily drive so just 225hp , i meant if i want to pay much i would buy brand new luk dual mass flywheel , but we have g60 engine and it have flywheel too so i can swap it from it .


does the sachs have better clutch quality than luk or what? i used the sachs on audi a4 2.8 and it was very good lasted 130km untill i sold the car and it was still runing like new. previous genuine audi was luk.

Yes sachs would be a better option to Luke. But there are other clutch kits which would be stronger all depends what you want to spend...if I was you and want a budget clutch kit I would keep dm and just put a fast road clutch kit on and then you should be ok till a bt conversion in future all best to your project

well they frankly scare me that the dm one fail often ,but today i drive my friend tt and the clutch beand flywheel behave very good even at 200k km , so i think i will sort out some good low millage dm one and fit it with new clutch and pressure plate and of corse this weird look releasing pump and bearing two at once

does luk suffer from slippage or what the benifit from Sachs one?
