Subject:Heavier Diesel Vanagon clutch available? (one of the 1.9 TD bugs to fix)
From:Karl Mullendore

One of the 'bugs' I will need to work out soon with the 1.9 TD conversion,
is that I need more clutch! The torque of the 1.9 overwhelms the stock
diesel clutch easily in the meat of the torque spread. Is there a stronger
clutch that will bolt up to the diesel Vanagon flywheel, and take the abuse
that will be certainly thrown at it offroad? The clutch I installed was just
a std. diesel part, and the pedal effort seems a bit too easy. Any ideas?
Quantum? Audi? TIA for any advice or recommendations.
