drive shaft question.

I must have a magic stock sachs clutch then.

I'm personally not running the standard 228mm M20 flywheel, but I can verify that a standard Sachs 240mm unit doesnt slip a bit with high rpm shifts and/or high loads. Mine has all of the hot mods.

@ Lifeiskaos-- My friend is running a stock clutch with 18 lbs of boost (low-400 something horsepower). Hooks up fine, even when drag raced at the strip. (surprised me as much as the fact that a stock 180k M20 can take that abuse without popping a HG).

OP, you can use the 240mm clutch/pp/stuff with the M50 and G260. I'd highly recommend that route. Especially with a light flywheel. My setup couldnt be any better for a mixed use car.

my stock clutch even held up for 7psi of boost. we both must have magic clutches.



if it hasnt been verified by you, please dont spread it

why do you think I swapped out for an IE 6 puck

It was fine in the lower RPM's but if you shifted 6.5+ the clutch would slip for a few sec before it would catch. Like I said though, a stage 2 w/ an HD PP is VERY close to the stock feel. There isn't a reason to go w/ the stock clutch (unless you are broke in which case you should be doing a motor swap) as a stronger clutch is always better. You get quicker shifts which = faster laps, etc.

I was talking about the 228mm NOT the 240mm....



And I would still recommend the e30/e36 325 228mm over the 240mm unless you have an uber amount of power. The 228 is a smaller lighter disk and flywheel. And until you have roasted a 3 or 4 puck clutch, I wouldn't move up to the 240mm.

I have had my M50 TSM chiped car with headers in the 6.5k to 7k hard shifts not slip, but as with any mass produced item there are variables
maybe a weaker batch of material or somthing
But then again mine is a HD stock replacement.

[asubimmer]

The HD is deff stronger. And a better choice for sure.

I know. I was just mentioning the 240mm because it was standard on the M cars and will handle any stock twin cam, even with up to at least a 15% increase in power.

Magic stock clutch here too. Chipped s50 w/headers for three years then Shrick cams, 3.5 MAF, Injectors etc. for a year.

30k miles and no slippage even at 7k RPM.
