Title: Clutch, DMF & Diff
Post by: bluo on November 09, 2014, 08:01:51 pm
Hi guys, been doing some research into clutch's etc and diffs.

Im going to replace my diff for a wavetrac diff and also an up rated clutch, my question is do I need to do the dual mass flywheel at the same time, is it recommended or not worth doing?

Can has almost 100k miles on it, no problems with the clutch, just want to do it before going k04...

Any advice appreciated.

Clutch I'm thinking of is a Sachs.

DMF is fine for K04 power, just buy the Sachs/Loba stage 1 uprated clutch solution

Helix over Sachs.

Imo peloquins diffs drive nicer on the road than wavetrac. I've fitted and used both.

Why helix over Sachs?

Looking up info on peloquin diff now...
