I am told that the 2.5 TD clutch is the same as the YB (at least both 4 cylinders), so combining the 2.5 TD cover with the 2.9 plate would be ideal, if you figure the 2.9 cover is not strong enough.
As far as I know the 2.8 and 2.9 clutches are the same apart from the release bearing.
Nope, no turbo sillyness for me...
Thanks for your advice, It's looking like a standard 2.9 XR4x4 clutch then seeing as though I need the correct release bearing for the hybrid MT75 box
And Wes.. sorry for clogging up your thread with the clutch debate mate, your thread is the best reference point as far as it being newly put together. You know, from the point of view of the availability of parts - it being current so to speak. Like your tip on the VW Passat spigot bearing
