    ABY (AAN 20vT Converted), 01E, 7A (20v NA) Flywheel, but what clutch?

    As the tire states I am piecing together the bits and putting my Coupe together and am looking for the best perfomance. This being said I have an ABY engine and 01E gearbox, but would like to use the 7A natural aspirated flywheel because, it is said to give more power to the wheee than a dual mass flywheel. The only probem I am having is figuring which clutch to use (I want to use a Southbendclutch.com stage 4 rather than a SPEC). What choices do I have without running into problems like a clutch slave prematurely going bad (some say this is the biggest and most colon problem)?

    7A flywheel is the same physical size as the 3B but a little heavier, 3B clutch is what you need.

      It's only 0.5kg heavier and that is a counter weight that can be machined off

        Yeah, the question was on clutch so I believe I am right in that you want the 3B design clutch. Avoid the DM flywheel, it's too lazy.

          Yes 3B clutch. One thing i never got to the bottom of is which master cyl to use, will it work ok with the 7A master cyl or should you change to an ABY?

            I think I'd use the master cylinder that is designed for the gearbox as this will determine the dimensions when fitting and using.
