I will direct the wrath of my wife your direction if that is the case.
Best not too....I'm having trouble dealing with mine at this current moment lol

sounds cool but the chatter would drive me nuts. too much stop and go around these parts.. i suppose there is a drop in disc solution for stage 1 guys who end up needing a new clutch? for me i guess ill see how long i can go. if i don't end up needing a new clutch until 60k miles then i might as well just go OEM again if it holds up that long.
good review

You bought it from Apr as well as having them do the install? May I ask your total cost? Also is this a perm solution poor Just a bandaid until you get a full $1200 clutch Kit?
Other than the FSI/TSI difference Im not sure. There is another thread that has a link to an upgraded SACHS clutch which may have been in the Golf R FSI motor. :iono:
Just the clutch disk? All of the factory components surrounding it are up to the task?

This was my exact question as I read the post. Just the clutch disk? Really!? D:
But that's great to know, OP. That's so damn cheap for a clutch repair that keeps the same pedal feel. Maybe the chatter will go away as you "break it in?" Not sure if that's possible though.
How long did APR take to install the clutch disk?
I can't imagine why it wouldn't be a permanent solution. If all of the stock components surrounding the disk are in working order he should be good to go.
This has put my mind at ease knowing its not going to cost me $1100 in parts if my clutch ever goes.
5200 miles. I was a big skeptic about the clutches going out so soon.
My last car was a 6speed and didn't have any problems with it. Babied this car for the first 1000 miles, and didnt launch it or drive it hard. It only slipped in 5th and 6th. Which was interesting.
Either way, this is much better
Yikes! Obviously not all cars are created equal, but I have 20,000 miles on stage 2+ with no issues. Did you replace your throw-out bearing at the time of install?

Mmmm.
I guess it's safe to say that there isn't a solid conclusion on why some of our clutches go bad early and some not?
Not saying that the SBC disk will not last a decent amount of time. I had some bad experiences with SBC on past vehicles, and I'm very "gun shy" about putting another one of their products in my car.
