Re: Need a clutch ASAP...suggestions? experiences?
You can talk to me or ask JM1(juan of werks of art). You can also call up PES and talk to them about the clutch. I have the proto type stage2 in my car and am able to pull 1.8's when I had the car running good. I should be testing out a new stage 3 clutch kit soon.

I have put over 20K miles on this clutch and a lot of weekend drag racing.
Clutch is great till I over revved it to 6500K rpms at the drag races. 1 time was ok the 2nd time cooked it. It holds on the street but wont hold a hard launch anymore. I will be doing a new clutch soon. It goes in with the new rings if I ever get them. Seems Jegs lost them somewhere. I ordered them 3 weeks ago and they told me 4-7 days but total seal said it would take 2 weeks to make and ship. Jegs says they shipped them but cant find where they are now. Yes it is a quattro.

Well if you plan on launching all that power hard then I would say yes.
The stage 2 is good but if you are making more then 350 hp and tq and planning on launching it alot on the weekends then I would have to say yes. BTW I am putting in a full race setup not just a stage 3.

Well I should have the clutch in my car by the end of the week.
I will have to break in the new clutch and new rings before I can take it to the track. With the stage 2 I have now I was able to do up to a 6K launch and would break loose the tires without a problem. I was pretty much doing 1.8 60 ft times every time and my best was 1.826 with that clutch. I might also be testing out a new 20 lbs single mass flywheel for the dbw cars.
