    Best clutch for a tt motor swap with stock n/a trans

    As the title says, I am keeping the n/a trans and swapping to a tt motor. As it is, my clutch slips from time to time, so I am looking for a reasonable upgrade. In a perfect world, I would like it to drive as close to stock as possible.

    Any recommendations?

    It sort of depends but you will probably need something stage 3ish to hold the power. Puck clutches hold great but don't last as long.

    i was looking at southbend clutches on gzp. Stage 2 n/a is rated for 320hp. That should be enough right? If not I am probably thinking a clutchmasters.

    That Southbend clutch should easily outlast the transmission...

    Well the engine is rated 320 so that would be right on the line. A spec stage 2 didn't hold up in mine. I would still recommend stage 3 in something.

    ACT 2600 is rated to hold 400 ft lb of torque and it is full face.

    I do agree, its a bad idea to run the NA trans on a TT swap, but if it has to be done, it has to be done.

    I have a 6 puck clutch on my n/a 3.5. Maybe it's because I only gave it a 300 mile break-in time or maybe be because it's an ebay F1 clutch
    But It's already slipping after 10k miles.

    Segmented Kevlar clutch on the way as well as all new t.o.b. and pressure plate of course. Can't wait to pull my trans off and see how the old 6puck looks

    I've got a busy couple weeks ahead of me...


    I hear oem tt clutch is as good for some decent numbers. I can't afford that and not sure it fits the n/a trans properly, so I'm going to test out this kevlar setup.
