Its not as good as the valeo volvo clutch to cope with higher power but will still be good depending on what sort of use you going to put it through.
I agree with Bigfoot, I didn't rate the sachs one, didn't take alot before it started slipping!
Sachs do a paddle clutch though, can be seen on richerdmotorsport(spelling) got website saved at home. Supposed to be a good clutch. Cant find part numbers though which is no use as I can get these from work. Else its going to look at other setups which have been suggested on here.Originally Posted by phase i 16 v turbo
Mine was the one from GSF, certainly no paddle clutch.
Im still running my original Valeo "uprated" clutch from gt tuning, lucky I got it new with the car. they charge stupid amounts of money for something half the price elsewhere.Mine was the one from GSF, certainly no paddle clutch.
The sachs clutch is sometimes supplyed by gsf when they have'nt got any valeo one's.In the really world the sachs clutch is a standard five turbo clutch where as the valeo is'nt.
Ive got an account with Valeo and they have stock of that clutch, surely they would order you one in and swap it for the Sachs one.
I have emailed GSF, asking if it can be swapped for the Valeo one.
Will see what comes back.
That clutch is made by several manufacturers; Valeo, Sachs, and Borg and Beck are 3 that I know of off the top of my head. They should all be the same (after-all, it's only a standard clutch for a Volvo 440/460/480 turbo), but the Valeo one has always been the preferred one for gtt owners, as some say it seems it can handle more torque.
volvo dont make clutches
but if they did.....volvo dont make clutches
probly be the best clutch in the world
