Stage 2 with stock clutch ?
- Thread starter anthmash
- Start date
Warmer temps may be causing less torque - possibly the reason why it hasn't. I went to stage 2 in the summer, no issue with the clutch until cool temps started setting in. Who knows..

I knew i was probably going to need a new clutch when i went stage 2 at 8000 miles. But i look at that as a good thing. Ask anybody on here what the biggest problem with the gti is and they will likely say: "lack of power and clutch." Clutch just feels weak man
So i planned on changing both when i went with the tune. Clutch held for about 15k miles on stage 2 power. Never launched the car but definitely got on it.

The factory clutch is not reliable at all stage two and beyond. Destroyed mine by 28,000 at stage two+ and I'm not an aggressive driver (now and then). I bought a South Bend stage III daily which is more than enough... But sounds like a giant deuce and a half truck when slowing (not much damping) if you can get past that I'd recommend it. While you are in there you should seriously consider a limited slip differential since it is highly labor-intensive to put in the clutch

Because with 250wtq it's not necessary to "simply" rev-match upshift once or twice to pull. This isn't a Honda. bro. :lol:

Exactly. If I wanted to use 3rd gear on the highway I would have bought a civic.

20k on stock clutch (stage 2 at 6k)
10k on RSR
There is 2 factors that has not been discussed:
1) I am not sure if everyone know what a slipping clutch feels like (if its not slipping too bad)
2) Weather/temperature.
My OEM clutch was holding really strong in hot/warm weather, mine would only slip on cold winter days (I am in Canada). I have stage 2 and 2k+ is not worth it for 2, but stage 1 would most likely slip too if you experience cold weather.
