So I've won some ebay parts for the upcoming Corvair swap. I'm picking up a flywheel, pressure plate, and my choice of clutch disc, the latter two of which are VW parts.
The seller is giving me a choice of which clutch disc to buy. I'm not sure which to choose. Does anyone here have more experience VW style clutches? The exact (poorly worded) quote is, "Buyer also has choice of almost new 4 puck disc, or almost new EMPI disc or NEW F & S disc." Help me decide? -marcus |

F&S is stock.
4 puck is good. Empi ain't what it used to be. |

Most of the "puck" clutches tend to be very light-switch like--either on or off, engaged or disengaged. Most of them don't offer you much/any slip. Not so good for a street car. If your use is primarily on the street, I'd probably pick the F&S one.

Sweet. Thanks for the information. I've always just used stock discs so I didn't want to pass up on something potentially better.
