New Product Development 2.5L L/W Single Mass Flywheel and Clutch kits , Shipped Ground Lower 48

[Wally Gorbash]

How much gearbox chatter (if any) is present with either the steel or alloy flywheel? I'm looking into this for the future, but I would like to avoid chatter if at all possible, even if that means going with the slightly heavier flywheel.

Anything's better than the OEM DM flywheel that's in there right now.

[FourSeasonTuning.com]

I can find the sound clips with the alloy one. We have not recorded any with the steel yet. The steel material and extra weight will dampen the idler gear rattle somewhat better than the alloy. There will always be some extra noise when going from a DMF to a single mass conversion.

[rustlerdude]

With the steel flywheel and VR6 clutch in the 2.5 engine, has the engagement point changed at all? Any issues with slipping or not releasing? Also, there is no noise on the VR engines so how could there be noise on a 2.5 with single mass flywheel and a SPRUNG hub clutch?

[eddi3okic]

okay so i have no experience whatsoever on what flywheels fit my car or what clutches work the best regarding six puck, full disk, steel or alloy flywheels etc. I have an 09 rabbit, ive been autocrossing for the past 2 years and my question is what is the best combination of stage 1 clutches n flywheel that is the cheapest for me to upgrade. i have no issues with the amount of noise or chatter it makes. i just want the lowest price possible on upgrading the flywheel n which clutch kit would be the best? sorry for the noobish question but lately my clutch is feeling really mushy or the pedal at least, and i want to upgrade eventually as the clutch will start slipping at any moment.

Best bang for the buck, Sachs VR6 clutch kit ( full face organic, w/ sprung hub disc) and Our steel billet flywheel. This will make some noise at idle with clutch pedal out.

noob question will it make a difference if i purchase the stage one clutch for my 07 rabbit and maintain the oem fly wheel? what/ if any difference will i feel with the stage one clutch compared to the oem rabbit clutch?

[FourSeasonTuning.com]

The DM flywheel will not work with the 228MM VR6 sprung hub clutch kit.

Benefits are Throttle response and Longer clutch/flywheel life.

[ehWudupdoc]

just purchased my stage 1 clutch and fly wheel kit for my mk5....how long is shipping?

[FourSeasonTuning.com]

depending on location. Shipping will take about 4-5 days for east coast. You should see your kit by Friday, flywheel was shipped today.

[ehWudupdoc]

question any step by step diy thread on changing the flywheel and clutch available?

[FourSeasonTuning.com]

This is just a R&R.

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

so if i wanted to be closest to stock dm flywheel the billet steel would be the best way to go? and for the clutch my car is geting a big turbo treatment so if i get stage 3 clutch now will it be undrivable n/a or should i get stage 2 to drive on till then and use that with my built motor since my buddy has a 700hp vrt and has southbend clutch but its rated at 375tq and is holding up... so i should add ill be around 5-600hp when done.

[FourSeasonTuning.com]

The steel FW will be the closest overall weight to stock. A six puck disc will not last as long as a full face version.

Because you are building a engine that is going to exceed 400 TQ consider A kit that uses a Sachs Sport pressure plate instead of a modified oem sachs one. South Bend/DXD uses these in the stage 3 and 4 kits.

The Max torque that South Bend rates their stage 4 kit at is 525 and these sell for about $600 w/o a flywheel.

Next step up is a Tilton twin disc with a pressure plate rated for 700 TQ

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

so i can use your billet flywheel and their stage 4 clutch and pressure plate together?

[FourSeasonTuning.com]

Yes, Contact when you are ready.

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

Ok. Wow will do the most straightforward answers I've gotten.

[TylerO28]

So I'm planning on a little forced induction on my 08 rabbit.I'm really not looking for crazy power (under 300 whp) what would you say is the best clutch and flywheel set up you'd recommend? I'm wanting something that holds well yet feels slightly stiffer than stock.I've had act clutches before on a few of my other cars as well as their lightened steel fly wheel.I really liked it but was only stage 2 on a naturally aspirated motor.what would be my best bet? And a rough price would be nice too? Thanks in advance.

I don't want to keep the dual mass flywheel at all. But am concerned about long term reliability. Your fly wheels can be resurfaced right?

[FourSeasonTuning.com]

For clutch life we recommend an organic disc, organic disc is made by Clutchnet with 6 retaining plates and solid backing so it will not break under pressure, a modified pressure plate will allow the power to be put down to the wheels. Clutch Net stage 2 is perfect for your needs.

another quick question...

is it possible for me to just use a 228mm vr6 flywheel?
I want to upgrade the clutch however am not sure i want to get the lightened flywheel just yet.

if i can use the vr6 flywheel i'd be very interested to find out what needs to be done to use it. and then i'd be able to get the stage 2 clutch kit

thanks in advance!

[FourSeasonTuning.com]

A VR6 flywheel will not bolt up to a 2.5 crankshaft ( 10 bolt instead of 6). So in order to use a VR6 clutch kit our flywheel must be used.

[TylerO28]

Ok great thank you for the help...
Last question, what transmission do I have? I would like to get an lsd installed while the tranny is out. My code on top of the box is sorry they are upside down...
Again what do I have?

So I'm about 250-260ish to the wheels, and I'm wondering how the sachs vr6 kit will hold up before I go throwing down. I've read and seen boosted VRT's with more power hold just fine on theirs, I'm just needing to make sure it'll work (vr6 sachs clutch/steel fw). I only see autox once a month, then the rest is easy driving.

[FourSeasonTuning.com]

The VR6 clutch kit is shown with steel or alloy flywheel does not matter. Many VR6 and 1.8T users are pushing more than 275 whp with the sachs vr6 clutch kit.

[TeamZleep]

Well I'm gonna play it safe, ordering the stage2 with the billet steel flywheel now! Think it'll make it by friday (to savannah ga)?? I plan on doing it next weekend.


*Ordered.

Shipped, Thanks For The Order

So I installed my Stage two kit with the billet steel flywheel today, and my car isn't working right at all. It grinds when It goes into reverse (cables adjusted properly) and every gear is hard to get into unless you're already moving. The clutch pedal lets out low now, and when I managed to make my way home (20 mile drive) the clutch was chattering at idle, pretty bad. Everything came out correctly and went back together correctly, torqued properly. Shifter cables adjusted (followed proper procedure and ended up doing it like 70 times), slave cylinder bled (figured that may be the issue), and I have no Idea what could be wrong.

What I'm assuming is the clutch is a shorter height than the factory dual mass and it's not disengaging all the way, but I used the sachs TO bearing you guys sent me, I don't know if that makes up for the bit of extra travel the pedal needs to reach the new flywheel... I'm confused, and I want to light my car on fire.
