Default TJM has a twin disk clutch that should hold 700

Default Dahlback SUCKS BIG TIME (more...)
We got a dahlback cluth which was said to be designed for 700hp aplications. A friend of mine had personally flown to Dahlback to pick it up. The cluth costed 1400EUR + over 900 EUR for the trip to Sweden (that is 2500+ USD) and guess what - the clutch DOESN'T EVEN FIT !

It would probably fit Audi S2, of which parts it is assemled, but there is no way to put it into S4.

So much about Dahlback. No wonder that everyone laughs at Dahlback at Swedish forums.

Default I can probably get you one made...
I have a twin plate, and it will hold the power. Drives very nice too. Shoot me an email. You can see pics under my sig.

Default How much power is your clutch rated for?
I may be going the twin-disk route soon.

Default I'd like to see that...
I doubt that people laugh at him... considering his work.

Not to mention.. maybe you just got the wrong part... it happens... I'd try him again. Nobody else makes audis that powerful.

Default Considerring the cost of the part....
it should be correct.

Then again, I'd never pay $2500 for a clutch
