Any Experience with Clutchnet???

[Avanter]

Some clutch tech specs you can see on Sachs webcat Sachs/Boge/ Lemforder/ Sachs Performance web catalog

I have a 3B clutch assembly in the garage, wont be able to measure it until tomorrow. I can take a few pics to allow you to compare. Clutchnet have a habit of supplying the pressure plate from the 200 when ordering the 3B version. You can tell immediately if you have the wrong one because the mounting area where the springs attach look different.

How much did it cost you in the end?

yes do it please. I would like to compare it. dont know where the difference with the 200 one is. I gave them the sachs numbers so they figure it out for themselves.

I've taken some pics and will upload them as soon as I can find the time this evening. I have checked the picture you've taken and it's definitely the same as the Sachs and Spec pressure plates. The 200 pressure plate as cutouts around the rivets that attach the diaphragm springs to the cover. Clutchnet and Spec just re-use old LUK and Sachs pressure plates.

Here u go....

[Billman]

the disc will also fit?

the disc will also fit?

Good question!

Providing it's got the correct diamater and tooth profile it should be fine. The issue I've seen has been with the pressure plates, not the friction disc. I had the carbon/organic sprung disk and it was ok. Slipped a bit, but I know Tom got on ok with his and it lasted well.

[Billman]

Nice, after the mistake they have sending me a solid disc they are sending me another sprung one and said i can keep the solid one. So now i will have 2 discs (both six pad sintered). So what should i use?

[SteveH]

The sprung disk will be easier if you do a lot of stop start driving, as it will take up a little of the harsh bite, the solid plate will be good for hard launches

[Billman]

Ok, clutchnet came up for the fault with this:


And a question now: What is it with this plastic release bearing? Is it ok to use with this thick pressureplatte? The release bearing they sent me is a Sachs!

[SteveH]

Use a metal release bearing if you have one. I'm sure others on the forum can tell you how they got on with the plastic faced bearing. I think the Spec clutch I have also comes with a plastic faced bearing too.

[s2_bo]

With plastic faced do you mean the face that touches the pressure plate fingers?
The oem one from Audi has plastic casing but the actual connecting part with the bearing is metal.

[Billman]

yes the inside is metall but the outside is plastic.
