[@boostedbub217]

great review. Im now leaning towards this brand for my next clutch upgrade

[@JewelCity1]

It’s a good option

[@JewelCity1]

New Video for the 6MT guys out there

[@exothermal.sprocket]

I've got a low mile Mk7.5 manual. Thinking of upgrading everything to about 400 whp. But I want it done RIGHT. Reliable. Supported. Tasteful. Yet the rumors I read about crank-walk have me worried about the EA888 in the longer run. Evidently it can occur stock and modified, due to a somewhat poor thrust bearing design.

[@justinsandoval6380]

One more question. This kit does not come with the hardware, I saw it on the reviews. Where did you get all the bolts and the rest of the things you needed? Could you send a link? Please?

[@stephenecheverria183]

i have a 2018 mk7.5 is this good for stock power and at most stage 1? need replacement not sure about oem even though i wanna keep dual mass flywheel

[@macnotes2259]

Do you still recommend this clutch for a stage 2+ setup and beating on ?

[@yacineyassine3044]

i just buy one for my satge 2++ cruze diesel . with 500nm toruqe . wish it will make diffrence . i will install it when my stock one die

[@kerbsy7838]

How many miles since the clutch was installed, any concerns of crank walk?

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

Love the review. Was already planning on going with them but glad to hear a good review on it. How many miles do you have on the setup? Also, definitely appreciate the channel, love seeing the M6 throw down with the DSG. Probably too expensive to be worth it but I'd really like to see your car on a dyno. There's a video somewhere on YT where an E85 Sneekytuned IS20 car threw down 365WHP and 450+ WTQ. I'd be interested if that was just a crazy dyno reading or if that's really how the cars are performing.

[@JewelCity1]

roughly 8k miles and eventually I’ll try to get it on the dyno. A good amount of e85 mk7 are around that hp output with a proper tune

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

@@JewelCity1 yeah it was the torque that I'd never seen that high before

[@andrewt5421]

Still happy with your clutch? Or would you wish you have gotten something else?

[@TheFlyingPLiner]

I think this is the option I will go with. DKM I'm not set on completely.

[@bigtreesfall]

Me too. I just ordered this kit today.

[@TheSkaterboy678]

Having this installed on my mk7.5 next week. Would you say removing the clutch delay valve would go nicely with it, or the feel/engagement is already improved enough if I keep it in? I have already removed the spring and installed a clutch stop.

[@JewelCity1]

The delay valve delete made a little difference imo. Mainly for the lower gears. Still noticeable but not drastic like the other shift mods

[@BerryMK7]

question, I have 65k miles right now on stock everything and want to upgrade to this so I can do stage 2. Would i need to replace the flywheel since my miles are pretty high?

[@JewelCity1]

It should be okay especially if there has not been any slipping of the clutch. Might want to change the tob though

[@BelterLoader]

My clutch just started slipping so I’m looking to get this done soon.

[@JewelCity1]

If higher mileage, would also recommend replacing the tob while you’re at it

[@jasonswitzer1748]

@@JewelCity1 hi man. Thanks for the video. What is a “tob?” Throw Out Bearing? Why do you recommend replacing for higher mileage Golf R/GTI?

[@JewelCity1]

@@jasonswitzer1748 Throw out bearing. higher mileage means its more worn, especially if the clutch has been slipping already. might as well replace along with clutch while the transmission is open

[@kolourblind3124]

I was planning a mild build with is38 on 93 pump gas.do u think this clutch hold up? I was looking into doing the ttrs clutch but it’s not gonna be cheap to do...I think they even recommended the sach clutch disk but using the ttrs pressure plate and flywheel.tryn to avoid the clutch chatter since it’s a daily.thanks for making this video!

[@JewelCity1]

It mainly depends on the power goal and end tq. This clutch is good for up to 400wtq (maybe a bit more if you push it). Is38 on 93 should be within that range, unless you plan on adding E85 later.

[@kolourblind3124]

@@JewelCity1 thanks man! I really doubt I will ever go e85 unless I retire it from daily use but it’s too fun for that.I know the gains are awesome but I already have a race car

[@strko9990]

Did u get organic or sinterated ??

[@zacharymarques3570]

When you say it doesn’t come with hardware and that you have to source it separately, are you just referring to the throw out bearing or is there more?

[@JewelCity1]

TOB, flywheel(most ppl reused stock), stretch bolts

[@lifestooshort81]

did you re-surface your original flywheel or just drop this in and go? I'm about to take my Jetta/GLI to a stage 2 and don't want to deal with clutch chatter. I'm old and have no patience for that noise anymore. LOL!

[@ThePedalDance]

You cannot resurface a dual mass flywheel

[@NAs034]

Hey wats up bro i just installed this clutch and its great im loving it man! One lil question how long it take you to get use to it feels real snappy when first pulling off lol

[@JewelCity1]

Give it a few hundred miles to break in

[@NAs034]

Ok well do thanks bro like ur content by the way!

[@CC-uh8gl]

When you said the car felt very snappy 1:50 I know exactly what you mean. I have the SACHS SRE w/single mass flywheel in my MK6 GTI. My car felt the same way you described it. After 31,000km it has lost its snappiness. Can you tell me how your clutch feels now?

[@JewelCity1]

It’s not as snappy after 15k+ miles but it’s still grabbing and no slip. Currently 400+tq on Is38 plus E85 (shown in recent vids)

[@CC-uh8gl]

@@JewelCity1 👍

[@bokinbg1]

Hey man, do you have any noise with single mass flywheel? Or any other side effects?

[@CC-uh8gl]

@@bokinbg1 for me there is quite a bit of chatter. The chatter gets louder when the engine is fully warm.

[@bokinbg1]

@@CC-uh8gl thanks

[@owenhilton2045]

What exactly do you mean by needing to buy other hardware. If I buy this clutch what else will I need to able to use it? (I’m new to cars so hopefully I don’t sound too dumb).

[@JewelCity1]

mostly the stretch bolts, but also throw out bearing, new flywheel if they need replacement

[@owenhilton2045]

@@JewelCity1 did you install it yourself or did you take it to a shop? If you took it to a shop how much did it cost to have installed?

@@JewelCity1 where did you order the stretch bolts from can’t seem to find them anywhere but ecs

[@jasonmiles5043]

hey there from the UK, having had a stage 1 remap would this system be ok with my stock flywheel? cheers

[@JewelCity1]

jason miles As long as there is no prior hot spots on the factory flywheel caused by bad driving habits/clutch slippage it should be okay.

@@JewelCity1 its got 52k on the clock, i have span it a few times unintentionally of course, so may change it, thank you for the reply
