Subject:      Longer Lasting Clutch?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.


Lots of *factors involved in clutch wear, but it seems mine hasn't
lasted that long. Clutch disc showed ~ 1/3 left last time I checked
and pedal grabs higher up these days. Clutch works ok but I see a
clutch job coming up soon.


Had thought a diesel clutch might be more robust and fit my needs, but
it's a smaller diameter than gas clutch. (I'm running a Kennedy "WBX"
flywheel)


Any users running a more robust non stock clutch on stock clutch
housing/flywheel? Has it lasted longer under normal use than the stock
(Sachs?) clutch?




Neil.


* I run a Jetta engine, use my Westy on dirt roads sometimes. There
*may* have been a *little* oil or grease contamination on my clutch at
one point. Otherwise all else is in good shape.
