I highly recommend NPC Performance Clutches: Home.

Be aware though, putting a billet flywheel in front of the GETRAG will make the box sound a LOT louder.

VT VX VY SIX CYLINDER HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH WITH FLYWHEEL (eBay item 220703621115 end time 29-Dec-10 11:49:51 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats
they will probably also knock the price down a bit if you don't buy through ebay but directly through thier store.

Thanks for the answer , when you say a billet flywheel , does this extra noise come from any solid flywheel behind a getrag ( Billet does that just mean solid )? i ask because the getrag already is known for its whining and i dont know i want that to be any worse lol

Mate that looks like a good one, im not sure i would go heavy duty as im not keen on a real heavy clutch, might ask if they do a standard one too, although heavy may be suited better to my supercharged 3.8 ?

cheers for the answer mate

is it normal that you get more noise when going to a solid flywheel?

Billet basically means it is made from one piece of material. The dual mass has a rubber dampener to help quieten the noise of the box.
It is not a whine as such, more of a rattle. It is usually worse at idle in neutral, when the box is warm.

The GETRAG uses a hydraulic system to operate the pressure plate, so even when you use a 'heavy duty' setup, the load on the clutch pedal is still reasonably light.

When you say supercharged 3.8 are we talking aftermarket or factory?

 

[TazzieTLR]

its just the factory supercharger. the engine is from a 3.8 statesman

just how bad is this extra noise? is it worth worrying about?

thanks
