Im going to be doing a 3b flywheel conversion on my coupe soon, and so will need a new clutch.
Has anybody used a techniclutch clutch in their s2? Ive heard mixed reports about techniclutch, i think it very much depends on the application. Very reasonable for £130???

I read alot of negative press and decided to give them a miss for a replacement 3B clutch recently; ended up using the old one as they're NLA with Audi
Another member used one recently, ended up replacing it after a week if I believe! Depends if you can change it easily, may be worth a try, but if you're paying for labour I'd do it once properly.
I had a feeling that would be the general concensus. So people rate the sachs unit. But NLA, great!!!
What clutches can anybody recommend. Im looking for value here too. cost is a big factor.

I was just thinking that the techniclutch pressure plate looked to be pretty Heavy duty, the spring fingers look pretty beefy. What about a techniclutch/LUK/Sachs combo??

@andy, unfortunately, as you know i currently have a ABY clutch therefore remanufacture aint possible as i will be doing the SMF conversion at the same time.
Any idea how much a Sachs clutch kit is? or how much the Sachs friction plate is? So i can think about the techniclutch sachs hybrid jobby.
Am i right in saying that the technology that goes into a clutch and how good or bad the clutch is, is mainly down to the friction plate material and how well the friction plate is made? And a little bit down to simply how strong the fingers are on the pressure plate? Thus a techniclutch pressure plate may be very good but the friction plate pants. in which case the techniclutch/sachs combo may work?

Right, I'd source a stock Sachs and get the flywheel face skimmed, I think a lot of failures are due to the friction mating surfaces not been as clean as possible. Might be possible to get a 3B complete clutch and FW and then send it to Aelred for lighten and remanufacture, not cheap tho!
Cheers'en, AndyC
