Hey all,

So with the turn of tax season im gathering my grocery list again for more fixes i need to do to my csvt. One of which being a new clutch. Now, i dont have any power mods other than bolt on and dont plan on putting any forced air, etc... on any time soon. Im quite content with what mhy car can do as far as fun and functionality. Now, i know the stock LuK clutch and the Sachs clutch from BAT are great clutches, but What i would like to do is go with a lightweight aluminum flywheel and a nice performance clutch of some kind.

Would i be able to run an aluminum flywheel with a sachs clutch, or do i need to have it paired in a kit? I have driven cars with lightweight flywheels and i love the feel of them. I justg want to know if i can use any clutch with an aluminum flywheel, and if not, what comination can you recommend? Are there any clutch, pressure plate, flywheel kits all together on the market? Everytthing Ive seen so far is just clutch/pressure plate combos...

Any help and opinion would be great! Thanx!

You can run an aluminum flywheel with a Sach's clutch, it's been done many times.

Fidanza is the most popular.. Luk and stock SVT is the more popular based on cost.

I don't buy many flywheels so you'll have to check around for places that stock them.
