    ABY AAN cluch kit differences?

    Trying to find out if there is actually any difference in the ABY and AAN clutch kit?

    I have been getting prices for performance clutches and the AAN one is more than half the price of the ABY one. I am hoping i can just fit the AAN one, even if it means fitting an AAN flywheel.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan.

    from memory the pressure plate on an AAN is thinner by a fair bit.At least the thickness of the spacer that is between the gearbox and engine on an ABY,never noticed anything else

        i've gone AAN flywheel and clutch kit due to the prices of uprated parts and will be fitting it into my ABY with a few mods to the gearbox...

          AAN doesn't have a spacer at all,I have never understood the reasoning behind that.

            Mike i have got a AAN flywheel so i could use that and no spacer but what mods need doing to the gearbox? What cluch have you gone for if you don't mind me asking?

            Cheers,

              i think you have to "trim" the end off the input shaft

                  bog standard AAN engine with flywheel and clutch bolted onto my A4 6speed gearbox with no mods and clutch is perfect, A4`s run the thicker/longer/spaced gearbox type if its any help?
