Can anyone chiming in on their experience with the clutch setup and has been running a k04 stage 2/2+ without issues give an update?

After continued slipping in 4th gear above 5k rpm I'm looking into building my own clutch using the resources in this thread. Do you recommend replacing the DMFW or having it resurfaced? I've already had it resurfaced once by the dealer to replace a leaking TOB. This was around 30,000 miles and I'm now at 65,000 miles on APR stage 1 high torque file. The clutch has only slipped three times so far and the car will now be sitting until the clutch gets resolved.

About 2 years and 20k miles on my "RSR" kit from this thread. Self installed.
Didn't touch the FW.
Still great!

Did you change the main seal when you replaced the clutch? I keep seeing online that you need a special tool but I can't find it

The rear main seal is behind the flywheel, so you would have to remove the flywheel to replace the RMS.

so if he DID NOT touch the flywheel....well there's the answer, he did not change the RMS
i did NOT change mine either when i changed my clutch, but i only had 20K miles on my GTI back then...

I should've mentioned that I'm changing my flywheel too. I have 66,000 miles on my gti so it might as well be replaced if I have everything out

I bought that rear seal. I am wanting to upgrade everything I can while we have the transmission off. Stainless steel clutch line?
Also, If anyone wants to buy it I have an extra Clutch disc as an order I canceled for one from overseas was not cancelled....... I don't think anyone has them in stock in the USA right now.
Did you end up selling the extra clutch disk?

How many miles should i drive before taking the car to the quarter mile after clutch install?

I think a good rule of thumb is 500 miles...

Anyone have a current source for the clutch disk (1878 005 146)? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
Any opinions on using a remanufactured pressure plate (07K 141 015 BX vs 07K 141 015 B)? I can't seem to find a new one anywhere either. Not sure what "remanufactured" really means in this situation.
