Hello members
I have a '76 2.0 with an upgraded big bore powerplant from FAT. I do some autocross with it and take it out to shows. Is there an option for a stronger/longer lasting clutch other than original? if so, are there any downfalls other than pedal pressure, premature thrust bearing failure, tranny or other issues it can cause. Thanks for the guidence. Robert |

I'd stick with the stock Sachs clutch and pressure plate. A good compromise between clamping force and pedal pressure that should live a long time. Back when I was doing autocrosses on a weekly or biweekly schedule, I got three years (plus daily driving) on my stock clutch.
I initially used a puck style clutch when I built my big engined conversion, and will never make that mistake again on a car that's street driven. |
