    S50 Getrag 260 clutch options

    I'm planning on using my stock Getrag 260 transmission. I'm shooting for 320 hp at the crank, so my ETA clutch ain't gonna cut it. ;)

    I'd like to run the shaved/lightened factory single mass flywheel that I've currently got, and looking at pairing it up with a SPEC 2, 2+, 3, or 3+ clutch. Anyone see why this setup wouldn't work? I don't want to have to modify anything with the clutch linkage or anything. Will this all bolt up? Any reccomendations on a level of SPEC clutch?

    Thanks!

    Fact:
    I've been using a spec stg III for the last 1.5 years and have been very pleased with it. My last "high boost" dyno yielded more than your goal and I haven't had a single problem with the clutch either holding power or being difficult as a daily driver.

    Speculation:
    I plan on using it along with my alum flywheel from my m20 in my s50 swap as I have read it "should" work. The only documented issues I have found were the oil pan might need to be clearanced. I'll have the motor and trans by the end of the month so I'll know for certain then. Until then I am only speculating based off my research.

      Brew just put a Spec 2 between an S50 and a G260. Once he gets the car running (soon hopefully) I'm sure he'll confirm his research. He spent a long time figuring out what was his best option, and decided on a Spec 2 (ordered from TCD I believe).
