Old news. . lol

Nice piece of kit innit? I'm holding off to fit mine until i get my gearbox next month.

 

[TurboCupra]

Really impressed with the flywheel, its a bit lighter than I ideally wanted, but its a good compromise..

Are you having anything special done to your gearbox?

 

[PhilW]

Quaife diff goin in mine with all new stuff really. Nothing special, i did have a 6 speed quaife gearset but i changed my mind.

Bump to anyone whos got one fitted, clutch that is, how you finding it now? Harsh or not too bad?

 

[TurboCupra]

Quaife gearset would have been ultra noisy, but it would have flown..

I really want a diff for mine.. Peloquin look slike a nice bit of kit, plenty of good feedback too..

Glad it arrived ok TurboCupra.

Ive been using the stage 3 plus with aly flywheel for a few weeks now and it started a bit juddery, but now its spot on. Doesnt even need higher revs to pull away.

Does seem to make an odd noise when pulling away if you slip it loads. I try to avoid that tho!!

Great clutches at great prices

Ditto to TTS.
Very on/off to begin with. Once bedded in (mine took approx. 600 miles), no different to OE. If you jumped in my car and drove it, you wouldn't even know.

 

[TurboCupra]

Thats what I like to hear, gives me something to expect... 600 miles will be covered in no time!

Ok so got the clutch in on Friday, bit irritating it doesnt come with the housing (M7!?) bolts, which set me back a bit.. but other than that a smooth job..

Replaced the gearbox oil as well for good measure.

First impressions are very very good, the clutch feels a lot lighter which i was suprised about.. all the other Paddle clutches i've had experience with have no biting point at all (more of a switch action!) and are massively heavy, even with hydro clutchs..

The Spec has a usable biting point range, not that im using it much , trying not to ride on it.. The gearchange is very crisp..

The Flywheel as well has made a driving difference, there seems to be slighly less pull from 2-3, but then hit 4k and the car feels like you've just shed 70kgs! Which is a give a little, take a little situation. And hasn't made it jerky, or chattery at idle..

1st to second gearchage is a lttle more 'direct' and little less damped.. characteristic of a lighweight flywheel..

Overall VERY happy and impressed, the combo is totally usable for a daily drive, and you have piece of mind that your clutch is not going to slip! 9/10

ive got same combo, awesome set up, feels great and loads and loads of grip!

 

[nick-barnes07]

ill be giving tts a ring to order one of these , may as well replace the clutch when the gear box is of ,

 

[PhilW]

I'm soooo glad to hear its a decent clutch as i was dreading it being a nightmare.

 

[TurboCupra]

Its getting smoother off the line by the mile...
