LOBA-Sachs Stage 2 upgrade clutch kit 2.0 TFSI / TDI single disc 550Nm
Idea direct replacement for those that wish to replace the OE dual mass flywheel but stil have a clutch with a OE feel but still get a nice upgrade over stock.
Using a reinforced Sachs performance clutch cover has fundamental advantages against an OE clutch cover, such as a much higher transmittable torque and higher resistance against thrust, yet this kit retains a very OE feel due to a the use of a Sachs performance organic friction plate.
A lot has been made of the performance advantage of a LOBA billet flywheel. The fact that the flywheel provides 50% of the friction surface to which the disc mates and consequently half of the holding power. For maximum clutch performance, the billlet material is carefully chosen, that surface must have maximum compatibility, flat and true with the disc friction material for smooth engagement and to take advantage of the increased coefficient of friction of a high performance clutch disc. Without this compatibility, the power or torque capacity of the entire clutch system is seriously compromised. Also must be noted LOBA billet flywheels are balanced to far higher precision than stock and also much lighter.
There are completely different requirements for a clutch in motorsports. Special attention is paid to lightweight and mass moment of intertia (MMI) in order to achieve the maximum acceleration of the engine as well as shorter shifting times and sportier gearshifts. Thanks to a smaller clutch diameter and exclusive materials a significant reduction of weight and MMI is achieved in this kit. This makes it extremely useful for tuned cars and suits cars with modified turbos, and for vehicles that are often driven hard or with their maximum gross vehicle weight.
