i didnt read it that way, lol.....but if that was how its meant then the answer to that would be..... go big or dont go at all.


plus, if i destroy this expensive clutch, ill probably just cry. if i blew up an $7-800 single disc clutchnet setup, i wouldve just bought another one. and like aaron said waaaaay back....if clutchnet made a twin disc for our cars, id be rocking that. ive had a few of their setups 5spd/6spd in my mk4, and they were both super

and replace that with a door lock actuator from an older chevy...pretty much just an actuator that you put 12v to and itll pop out, ground it and itll come back it.

How about something like this?

ive got those at work, i just didnt think that the cable would be strong enough to push that arm on the locker out, it would certainly disengage it im sure...but idk if itd be up to the task of pushing it out.

SOOOOOOOOOOO,

is this car gonna be rolling by July???????
you gotta get it driving by then so we can cruise down to englishtown...

i might be the only one reppin the 4cyl quattros this year........ i hope not tho..

itll be ready by july pending things go even remotely as planned. and i wont be cruising down there, ill be trailering just in case a scatter parts on the track.

good idea.
i dont wanna drive mine down cause my 01A is very short. 70mph is like 4k.
no good. i need a longer 5th gear, or just a 6th, but i cant afford an 01E, too much $$$. i was thinkin about a V6 01A, hoping maybe the final drive is taller or just 5th is longer. i know the B5 A4's are better for highway cruisin, but i hear that they are weaker trannys. i would love to trailer it down, in like a nice 02-03 dodge cummins or somthin. but alas, i have no truck.

so i just mite light up I-95 south all the way there......!!!

Maybe it'd work OK if you rigged it to pull (and then lock) the lever in the locked position.... pull to engage, push to disengage :?

if that cable can lock out, it'll work perfectly. pull to engage with lockout. with a small spring on the return to help it, no problemo....

ive got something coming, you know aaron, so i might have a nifty solution by next weekend. :wink:

i know. i saw some bootie things for moisture protection on the site as well... maybe it was the firgelliauto.... YOU might think about that as a driver car. not so much for me.

i was going to look into booties once i get it rigged up, either that or build some sort of shield like the stock vac canister has.

firgelliauto has the rubber boots for the S-12? series, they are a BIOTCH to put on, but do work quite well. They are I think IP64 or 65 as it is, but the boots are nice once in place to make them very moister and gook resistant.

A morse cable would probably work well

i also contemplated those as well, ive got something in the works though, maybe ill have pics by the weekend. :wink:

cage this weekend too?

ill prolly have some shots of that too ya. i just dont want to weld anything into the body until the suspension is all back in and the car is on the ground.

well...i got my actuator in the mail today, wired it up at work, and did some test fitting. it MAY work, im not sure if i want to figure it all out, lol....but if its doesnt, ill just end up going the heavy duty push/pull cable route, we'll see. this little thing sure looks cool though.

It looks like it MAY work. I does look cool. I wonder if it has enough oomph to it though.

i need that for my car :woowoo:

im pretty sure its got enough force to do the job, but we'll see. if i wasnt busy cussing and throwing things across the garage while trying to take my rear hubs apart to replace the wheel bearings/ball joints/tie rods....id be working on that little actuator idea. :bullshits:

i should have gotten one then as well. i have no cars to work on. and i have a spare diff laying here on the floor. :bashtard:

Something I just thought about, what is the IP rating of the actuator? Really, it needs to be at least IP54. Ideally, you'd have an IP65 or higher (max is IP68).

to be honest, i just saw the thing, ordered it, hooked it up, and am going to see if itll work out for me. i havent the sligtest clue as to what you're asking( im not being rude, im just being totally honest)


heres the link to the .pdf for the actuator....
