Hi,

im deciding on which clutch to get for my 2.1 (around 75hp) Been looking at Kennedy but also been suggested Sachs

Whats everyones no.1 choice?

i just put a sachs on mine - type 1 with a little more HP

nick

trend seems to be kennedy's nowadays but

how many $ to build that motor ?

for 75 hp

i run the sach in my t4 bug they feel great and handle the power well. note that they are also the ones that dakin package for the bug

The clutch on our Subaru EJ22 bus is a Sach's. Seems ok for now, plenty of drag racing.

i like the sach because of the springs that help take up the tension to stop shudders on take off. but ive never used the kennedy only the sach so i cant coment on them. try giving my old man a call during working hours costa on 02 65523190. he can help you out with some info im sure

Sachs is a very good road clutch and the pressure plate runs at about 1450lb
Which is not all that shabby, and would be good for 150hp or a little more if you were nice to it. But if you want to race the car you would be better off with a puck clutch. They normally come in 3 type 6,4,3 puck configurations the 6 puck is the more driveable and the 3 will have the less slip. If you plane on using a puck clutch then go with the Kennedy clutch and pressure plate. Kennedy pressure plates come in stages and you would need to talk to someone how knows what you need in terms of what you want. Remembering that Kennedy pressure plate start at 1750lb in 200mm. We sell, race and drive on them both, so if you want an unbiased opinion give us a call

i hope your talking 75 at the wheels both will handle 75hp no worries personally id go the kenedy just because i like buying tyres not really but i do like burnouts:P

I had a Sachs on a 2110 in my super. 90-95hp at the wheels. Never slipped and was real driveable.

hows a sachs if i want to burn someone at the lights?

worked great with both the 1700 big bore i had and the t4 i currently have. didnt mind being dumped hard at the lights
