New Clutch

Allright guys

Im about to buy this clutch from gsf for my turbo conversion can anyone confirm that its the right one? Im using the 027 105 273 flywheel which is 210mm

189VG0700       CLUTCH KIT-210mm       G1 1.8 F.Inj 8/82 >12/83       50.50      

Cheers in advance

its not the flywheel that decides the clutch size its the gearbox.

What box are you using mate?

Its a 020 box code reads 020 310 107 h. The code on the bellhouseing has been near ground off but u can make out acd os/5058 from the space its guesswork lol also looking for a end cap for the box as the one on its a bit jiggered.

Cheers again

I have no idea what box has which part numbers mate, if your box is from a mk1 1.8 GTI or a mk2 GTI you have the right clutch there

Found the code on brokevw it is a close ratio 1800 box not sure if it is gti though gonna but it an see lol

Cheers anyway man!

Im 99.9% sure the clutch you have posted is the correct one.

just buy it and then remove the plate and offer it up to the input spline to the box (inside bell housing)  if it fits then bobs you uncle

Nice lol just noticed its a luke clutch thats in it bonus how do you check wear on clutches?'

hey ebo howz umate get that clutch in m8 try it and get lucky lol

Usual man! You?  Welded two big plates on the inner wings over the last few days got another mahooosive one one the base of the door jam but thats tommorows job! Metal workins hard going Lol also discovered grinder flap disks! Some tool rips through to the metal in no time! Also aquired a set of voodos out a 944 result! 8)

sound m8 a cant wait 2 see her u got a name 4 this beast yet

Am crap with names lol so id never chosen one for it, most of the time we lovingly call it the bismarck! Its more biscuit than beast the now lol this months job it to get the engine in and front end built up!

Standard LUK clutch on a 020 box won't survive long with a 1.8t conversion, i killed an uprated one in 3k miles.

Ahh that could be a prob im planning to do a few k withing the first couple months heading to ed38 with a couple mates its gotta be around 800miles alone!

What you running now mate? Howd you find it?

Running an 02A box now with a helix paddle clutch, i have a bad history with clutches so went over the top for this one, should be fairly indestructable!!

Am i right thinking your using a hydro set uP!? How much did that cost you? My kakphones not opening the catalouge!

Building my own hydro pedal box for brake & clutch, cost me prob about £140 for everything including the 3 cylinders/balance bar.  
I was running it on a cable conversion but is really heavy and before that I had a floor mounted pedal box that was truly rubbish.

189VG0700 GSF Clutch is for SCIROCCO  1.8 Carb Models from 9/83 >   And 1.8 injection Golf MK 1 82-83

hey ebo howz tings any way forward m8 :dontknow:

Painted my inner arches an bay shiny black! Not to much apart from that just makeing a list to visit gsf tommorow provided i can sneak off for a bit an the lists in stock!

Put some of my mr2 spares on ebay to make some space! Been hot right till i come in from work then gets cold like!  :wink:

What about yer self?

it IS the flywheel that determines the size of the clutch

the gearbox decides which clutch you need, either 8v or 16v as the 8v uses a smaller spline than the mk2 16v boxes. sicne 16v clutches only come in 210mm you need to change the flywheel if its a 190 or 200mm one
