Clutch time
Well was able to pick up my new custom CM clutch kit and my rebuilt transmission. Already installed the clutch, just waiting to get the transmission back in the car. Still need to order some Redline MT90 gear oil.
FX850 Super Single Sintered Iron drag clutch
Disk/flywheel
Rebuilt cryo/heat treated hybrid 01A transmission.
Will be using a CM Flow Control Valve and USP Motorsports SS clutch line with Metal slave conversion kit to see if I can keep this transmission together longer then 1 pass.

The 01E transmission is stronger, but the taller gears in that transmission will make a 1.8t slower. Plus the rest of the driveline needs to be swapped too.
Now only if someone made a 01E transmission with a 3.89 final and shorter 1st-4th gear. Maybe a hybrid 01E transmission with the Allroad 1st/2nd and 3.89 final with the rest of the gears out of a B5 S4 2.7t 01E. Even better would be those but in the 01E 5 speed. lol

I gave up on the twin last year after blowing 2 transmissions, pulled it out and sold it. I was trying to go with a single sprung disk setup but after they made it they told me that it is not possible to make a sintered iron sprung disk. This is one of the reasons I have to try using the flow control valve.
If I like the control valve I can always go to a twin sintered iron setup.
