Title: Which Clutch And Pressure Plate To Buy?
Post by: Acs on May 10, 2006, 04:33:54 PM

I posted not too long ago about my Beetle breaking down. I have narrowed it down to it being a clutch and/or pressure plate issue. I might as well replace both so what would be recommeded? I have a 1914cc so I'm thinking stock isn't gonna cut it but I also don't want something that's overkill either. Can anyone shine some light on this for me? Also, I don't know what size clutch I need. How can I find this out?

Kennedy 1700lb preassure plate and a Daiken solid disc.  You can't beat that combo

Both the disc and PP are in stock.

i ran the daiken and the stage one on my 2276 and it held until i put slicks on.......
but i didnt run it long on the street tires so i dont know how long it will last with that hp

I put the stage one aside as it's the last we have. I have many stage two's but you really don't need that.

Either way we have what you need.
