Driveline | SACHS Clutch Kits and Individual Components
The clutch is the way the power gets to the ground, and whether you have a stock,
or high performance watercooled VW, that means it's an important component. We've
got the right parts to get your clutch change done properly, from a stock
replacement clutch, to a hand-built SACHS RACE ENGINEERING (SRE®) sintered disc
racing clutch (recommended for very serious autocross or track work only).
The standard clutch on your Volkswagen is made by SACHS, and it's a good one. It
can, however, become overstressed when many engine modifications are added.
Hopped-up two liters or turbocharged engines make Sport clutches a must, and
quite frankly even then require good judgement on the part of the driver (It's
not often we hear complaints of too much power these days...). Deciding whether to
purchase a standard replacement clutch or to upgrade to a Sport Clutch can be
difficult. Please consult our Technical Department for recommendations catered to
your vehicle and your wants and needs.

Clutch Components
Parts denoted as stock are original equipment replacement parts replaced by SACHS, just like the ones your car came with. Sport pressure plates have 15% -20% higher clamping pressure than stock and are built sturdier as well. The Sport discs have stiffer torsion centers with bonded and riveted high performance linings, with a steel seperator between the linings that reduces "heat soak".

Clutch grabbing or slipping?
Many times when a clutch starts to grab, a thin layer of oil has accumulated
on the pressure plate and disc (usually a result of leaking crankshaft or
transmission oil seals). A small amount of oil can get tacky, making the
clutch action very abrupt with heavy chatter. A worse situation can occur
when a large amount of oil gets on the clutch surface causing severe
slippage. The remedy for this problem is to remove the clutch from your car,
marking the position of the components with a scribe. Wipe the pressure
plate clean with lacquer thinner or brake cleaner until all of the oily residue is
gone (the disc must be replaced). Take a piece of sandpaper
and clean the glazing off all surfaces. If you find any warping or
cracking on the pressure plate or flywheel, you must replace it. Most
importantly, before reassembling, you will need to locate the leaking seal and replace it. |
