turbor850 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 If you go from dual mass flywheel to single mass flywheel, what parts would be required and what would be a good alternative to the "R" clutch ?Any help of part numbers and what is needed would be great.I assume I need a 707 pressureplate from Audi and either "R" clutch or something to hold around 400 hp . . . . and would that be all ? ? ?

EricF Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Depends on thickness of the friction plates primarily I think. If the single mass and dual mass use the same clutch discs, then yeah you can probably just change flywheel and PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just called Andy at Southbend and told him I wanted a Sachs 707 plate with a 6 puck "feramic" clutch. I had to repin my flywheel for the pressure plate which wasn't a big deal.

mAydAy Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Throwout bearing/clutch slave cylinder setups are different (in their OEM setup). The single mass cars ran an external slave cylinder that pushed a lever arm onto the throwout bearing. Dual mass cars ran an internal slave cylinder/throwout bearing assembly.That said, I'm not sure if it matters if you run an external slave cylinder with a dual mass flywheel, or an internal slave cylinder with a single mass flywheel, all I know is that it changed over with the flywheels.

Carbon_R Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 You can haz a single mass flywheel but you need to use a single mass design clutch.R clutch, SPEC or South bend. The dual mass pressure plate is different, I have a 99 tranny that was designed to run with a dual mass but I use the internal slave design, SPEC stage 3+ clutch for the T5R as listed on thier website and a single mass flywheel.Just make sure your flywheel has squares (new design flywheel) not holes (old style), I have the old style and misfires galore. Need to replace my flywheel to the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
