Thinking about fitting my helix road clutch in next few weeks, will it need the pedal mod?

 

If I do need a pedal mod what parts do I need? Mk5/6 clutch pedal and White (larger) quadrant which I need to cut 10 teeth off .... Do I need any bushes or bolts?

 

I've got a helix 4 padle clutch and if I didn't know it was in the car i'd think it had a standard clutch!

 

I think you are looking at the same clutch as I have fitted. (not paddle)

You need a mk6 clutch pedal.

and then have a read through this thread. (pictures part the way down to show where the spring goes)

Are there any real advantages of fitting the helix clutch over a luk clutch, as only going to be running about 170 bhp?

Chopshop85 : yh not paddle clutch, whats the clutch like? Is it heavy?

 

Well the Helix road clutch is good for 210Ft Lbs IIRC, so It can handle more power than a std clutch.
It is heavier and has a bit more vicious biting point.

When my car made 165bhp on the dyno the std clutch started to slip at peak torque which is why I upgraded.
