Hi there
I wasn't sure where to post it, under questions or here under Wanted but here it goes.
I have a 200 20v 3b with weak clutch -very badly slipping atm.
I purchased the car in 2009 and changed the oem LUK clutch (was holding okay so it was more as a precaution). Then the **** would hit the fan. The new clutch was sachs - it was never strong enough. Slipping most of the time. My best guess was that the surface of the disk was flat and not padded. So I have sold the set and got my old luk clutch resurfaced - new friction material and springs. Not expensive, so i thought I would give it a try. It worked perfectly. Until last year. It did have that annoying vibration but god i was happy - it wouldn't slip.
Now this is starting to go as well.
What do I need for a semi stock 3b? It has a tuned software that boosts to approx 1.3bar. Stock is too weak at this point.
But the setup is not too powerful for some racing clutch either.. What kind of setup i am looking at?
At this moment i can get a barely used Sachs Racing Organic disk for €100 which is a steal. So I am definitely going with this disc.. But what about a pressure plate? My 25 year old pressure plate is not a consideration. A brand new stock pressure plate with SRE organic disk? Would this hold the power?
SAchs sre market their products as 15% over stock which is unbelievably small difference. But does that apply to the organic disk, sintered disk or either of them WITH sre pressure plate? Disk itself gives what, 5% increase? No way.
Then there comes the price. I would not be happy to pay 325€ for SRE pressure plate (yes that is what i can get it for) and 100€ for organic disk to get just a slight increase in transmittable torque.
The ting is, i need a slight increase in transmittable torque, but is there way I am not paying a premium price for it (425€ can really buy you a proper motorsport clutch)
Any ideas what I am looking at? My assumption is 260hp and approx 350nm of tq. But my car is heavy at 1600kg
I am even considering used parts.
