| Sachs Uprated Clutch About to order an uprated clutch from IP the Sachs kit with a lightened single mass flywheel. Is this a good option and has anyone had any problems with it> Skoda want £900+  for a new one fitted as for some reason the old one has "fused" itself together with heat not knowing anything about mech bits, it does look like it has got very hot with burn marks all over the fly wheel.Mike

| had exactly the same thing here, and i did the same and bought the uprated sachs and lightened flywheel and i must say they are very good, a noticable difference in clamping of the clutch and also the more solid feeling of the flywheel was nice, shame my gearbox broke a week later
