Would really make a lot of logistical sense to do it when the transmission is out, especially if the fluid is being serviced.
I know Oleg is selling his stage 3 Deka, but wondering if the stage 2 kit is the best bang for your buck.
WHY is Oleg selling his stage 3 clutch? He’s only had it for a few months…
He blew 4th gear. Check his IG, he has a vid and some pics. He has it listed on the other site.
Yeah i see he was selling his stage 3 $1800 his done 5k on it a new one from Deka is $1950 im thinking stage 2 would be the best one to go for and its still cheaper than Olegs kit ?
Hold off on the Deka kit. Rumor has it the stage 3 won’t hold any more hp than the OEM set. So not worth the money.
Oh dear that’s not good news is that why Oleg is getting shot of his ? Was the stage 3 clutch slipping at around 700 to 800nm of torque then ? That’s not good at all
Off topic a bit but just wanted to know what sort of mileage do the OEM clutches wear out does anyone know ?
Who makes the Kevlar clutch plates and where do you get these from also do you know what the break-in procedure is for these ?
Noted!
This is where my head is at, at this point. I’d love to do this now, but would be willing to wait for a kevlar offering.
Right now I honestly don’t know. I didn’t ask which is my fault. I’ll be talking to him again here soon and will likely go visit the shop within a month if the infection rate here doesn’t tick up again.
No worries! I still have some time, plus if it doesn’t happen now I’ll schedule it for the next fluid change. I’m sure I could easily find something else to spend that money on
Yes I’m thinking the same thing !! Be interesting to know what’s happened to Olegs car ??
Ok…so the info I was given on the Deka clutch may be inaccurate. Someone jumped the gun in blaming the clutch when it was, apparently, another issue.
Thats good news then at least this is still another option !
Good to know. I’m thinking I might hold off till something develops with that Kevlar option, and potentially upgrade at the next fluid change. I got a whole slew of tasks to tackle with the swap (coding/fab/vbanding/blah blah blah) maybe baby steps is the way to go. But the damn trans will already be out…bahhh
If anyone sees a used, complete RS5 clutch for sale anywhere, let me know. Trying to source one for development purposes. Nothing on eBay currently.
I think eBay has a clutch now.
Looks like it’s a very close fit to the RS5 if it’s the one I’m seeing. Here’s the P/N for ours 0B5141030G. The one being sold is the “E” version, which looks to support the 3.0sc and 2.0t engines.
Hey @Ape_Factory have you had any joy with regards to getting a clutch kit for our cars from the guy who makes these for Deka ? Any news on the Kevlar option who actually makes these anyone yet or are they on there way ?
