Golf R Clutch/Traction Control Issues

[mossymemedogg]

Hello R people,

Recently my clutch has started slipping more and more, it has always slipped if I accelerate in 6th, but now it seems to be slipping in 2nd and 3rd gear.

When the traction control is on and I accelerate in 2nd or 3rd the traction control light will flash. I am confused as to why the light would come on if my clutch was slipping. Maybe there are two separate issues going on here.

My question is first off: has anyone else had this happen with a stock clutch?

and secondly: What would be a good Stage 2-ish clutch to put in?
(I am currently considering the DKM stg 3 twin disk)

car has stock clutch

Sounds like slippage i had this happen on oem clutch. If i statyed on it while it was slipping it would induce the traction light. Im currently running the dkm stg 3 twin organic disk. You will not be disappointed. Excellent clutch im stage 2+ with the performance haldex as well. Holds up with no issues plenty of launches. 5k on the clutch now. Love it

Engine TCS might be stepping in and doing a fuel cut or something when it notices that your engine/gear output speed is running away from your wheel speeds?

Exactly

If you let off it wont notice it but if you keep the pedal down while slipping it will

Thanks for the replies, I am going with the DKM twin disk. I think it will be better in the long run.
