I use a Sachs HD clutch, the Kennedy clutches aren't what they used to be. I'm not drag racing, the Sachs will hold 225 hp with ease, plus be light on your leg.
@LI-Rick Thanks for that reply, I was busy earlier. Right-on on all counts!
@Impala If you're doing 3k at 60, you DON'T have a "freeway flier". That's a 4.12 with stock 0.89 4th, or a 3.88 with a 0.93 4th.
You probably have a 4.12 with stock gears(3.78(3.80) , 2.06, 1.26, 0.89), basically all stock. I find the 3-4 drop a bit large also, but that's with my 3.44 final.
I always thought the original "freeway flier" was stock gears and a 3.88 R&P. This BS of a 4.12 and stock 1-2-3 and 0.82 4th is TOO much of an rpm drop.
Interesting; I did order a freeway flyer on the build back in 2004. But then again, I ordered a 1776 and got a 1915 so....What I don’t get is the drop from 3rd to 4th. On all the other VWs I’ve had or driven there was no such drop. Could my tach be not calibrated right?
