Doesnt the upgrade require the fly too?

sorry boys not really up to scratch with my transmission knowledge...been reading on "how stuff works" to understand how clutches work lol

gonna be leaving it till my 60k service is done anyway which is 7k away but doing the research now...dont hear of many ppl bothering though

so an upgrade is ideal but not looking to spend hundreds more than a standard kit

Karl, have you got any problems selecting gears?

I had this problem and it seems to be something to do with the master cylinder, if i put my foot behind the pedal and pull it out now and again i dont get the slipping problem.

nah no problems with gears at all, just revs rising like **** once it hits 3.5k

strangely though its not happening every run. car doesnt feel slower by any means neither, just sorta annoying

This is what happened to mine too. Car is on 80K now, chipped (+ KO3S) since about 50K. Clutch started slipping every now and again. My flywheel ended up knackered so I ended up buying the Spec Stage 3 clutch from JBS. SEAT wanted £650 for a new clutch/flywheel assembly. Couldn't justify buying it as I knew it would just slip again (see sig below for torque car is producing). It was ok most of the time when on low boost (around 250lb ft) and didn't slip but the clutch couldn't handle the high boost setting. The Spec clutch cost an extra £150 over the OE kit but I can't fault it. Very stock feel, lovely to use and it GRIPS!!! I looked at a couple of the more popular upgrades (Sachs etc) but the torque rating they gave didn't fill me with confidence, although the price for these were a lot cheaper than the Spec clutch. I may have paid over the odds for the Spec clutch as I was in a hurry for it (car was off the road for a month of Xmas) but JBS may be able to reduce the cost, depending on how many they order.

Hope this helps.

Anybody know if the 130/160 PDI clutches can be used on the 20VT engines and if they have a higher torque capability ?

I am looking at the Sachs kit part number 3000 846 201
