Don't forget the pressure plate. I'm running a Sachs 2L 16v sport
clutch (the good one they don't make anymore), and a sport pressure
plate.  I really like the grab they make together, and the pedal
effort while greater then the stock 1.8L 16v pieces, isn't over
bearing.  I'd suggest calling the potterman and checking on pricing
and availability...he made my setup his guinea pig! :)  He liked it
when he got a chance to take a spin in it at Waterfest last year.
