I think Neuspeed has a Pressure plate that applies about 1800lbs of pressure versus the 900lbs the stock/sport pressure plates.
The issue is that it is like $520.00 before tax. http://www.neuspeed.com/pages/N2clutch.html What kit were you looking at from Clutch masters? Kind regards, Ryan D.

Yup, once again I blew my clutch. After going through 3 different sachs clutches the old style, the newest style, and the "heavy duty" sport version, and breaking all 3 of those, I went with a LUK clutch. The 1st sachs clutch lasted 30,000 miles, the second latest about 20,000, and the last one lasted 13,000 miles. On all three of them, those stupid metal "straps" in the pressure plate broke. I was running a euro cam at the time. Now the LUK clutch. Keep in mind I'm now running Kent 258 cams (which rev to 7500rpms pretty easily). Visually, the LUK looks like a better design (don't know if it actually is, though). It lasted 20,000 miles. The only difference is that it actually broke when I was racing at the drag strip last wednesday. The sachs clutches broke during "milder" driving. Note: I may shift fast, but I NEVER "drop" the clutch. Had I not gone to the drag strip and done burnouts and consistent 7500rpm shifts, it probably wouldn't have broke. If my car was stock, it probably wouldn't have broke. It's currently putting out approximately 145whp (it did 140hp w/the eurocam). "Factory" clutch kits just can't seem to handle more than 160 crank hp and 7000rpms. If only the friggin' clutchmasters kit wasn't so expensive... _______________________________________________ A2-16v mailing list [email protected] http://maillist.myip.org/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v For list archives, see listinfo link above.
