CG motorsport clutch

[luna fr]

Has anyone had one of these clutches fitted. I have a FR TDi with a stage one remap, which gives 280Lb/ft of torque. I would be interested to know if there Fast road clutch is any good and can handle this kind of torque.

 

[Scott-o]

standard one can handle 310 ftlb's torque so woulda thought so mate. Is yours on its way out?

 

[luna fr]

Yeah, had the car remapped just over a year ago, it had the usual slippage if you put your foot down in a high gear at low revs, but now it seems to slip abit more and at higher revs in lower gears. The car's done 76000 miles though so its not too bad for a clutch.

I ordered a paddle clutch + pressure plate off them this week, They were very helpfull on the phone.
Ill let you know what its like when its fitted.

how much it cost you if you dont mind me asking? my clutch is starting to slip and dont fancy paying 800+ for a sachs or helix.!

 

[dicky FR]

A whisker over 300 quid posted mate, cant go wrong really.
I looked at loads of reviews and theres alot of good things said about them on pd150 golfs on ukmkivs.

what did they rate the paddle cultch to handle ive spoke to them before but have forgot

 

[Lee g]

yeah cant go wrong with that price! alot of good reviews ,ive only read one bad review but that was on a honda and wrong clutch fitted.

Not sure mate I just said that im going hybrid and need something to handle atleast 380 ftlbs and he got back to me with a price. I know they build clutchest to spec so weather im getting something off the shelf or custom I dont know its a cera metalic 6 paddle clutch is all I know. there are countless people on ukmkivs runnign pd150 hybrids on the paddle clutches they supply so they must be rated fairly high.

Just spoke to the guy at cg motorsport and he recommended the paddle clutch, he said he could knock some off the price and they would fit it for about £200. So I should be able to get a good clutch and fitting for a round £500 with a little bit of discount.

 

[joop200789]

did they say what it was rated too and they sell them on ebay for £260

You getting the flywheel done at the same time?

 

[joop200789]

yeh mine buggered. just trying to why best options up,cheapist helix set up ive seen i s 850.

but i just seen this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-PASSAT-1-9...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3c9ab56449

says the engine puts out 131bhp same as mine so wonder if i fits and come with single mass flywheel. rather have smf for durabilty as dmf arnt realiable enought for me and i can put with extra vibration

 

[luna fr]

Can't remember what he said about torque but i'm sure it was rated to about 350Lb/ft. He didn't say about Ebay,but he said he would sell me it at that price.

I'll see what its like when stripped down.

 

[luna fr]

Spoke to the guy at cg motorsport today and booked the car in for friday. He said even though it's a paddle clutch it is still driveable, it just takes a little getting used to. He says it's rated to 380Lb/ft, so I took the plunge (hope its OK). At £460 fitted, its a good price if it works.

 

[Bondiblu]

Sounds good to me, please post your findings

 

[jamesbeaumont]

Do you know how much a single mass flywheel would be on top of the £460? As the ebay link above was for a clutch and SMF at £400 which is incredibly cheap!

problem is its not for ASZ engine code but its still for a 130 tdi engine i wonder what the difference is

and cheapest qoute ive had for a smf is 250 plus vat plus10 carraige

mine come tuesday from cg motorsport, a 5 puk came when they told me I was getting a 6 puk I rang them and they assured me that theres no difference they just use what backing plates they have at the time, but im unsure if this is true but looking around the net hasnt been able to clarify what the number of puks acctualy effects. Can anyone shed any light on this?
