now the oem tob is the revised one regardless of MY. VW should only be replacing with that one.

it will eventually wreck the FW and disc. U wil aslo run out of brake fluid if u dont keep refilling; same system.
how many miles?
Oh well, guess I might as well order the strage 3 drop in disk while I'm at it. I am stage 2 around 38k miles, I got tuned around 18k miles but I've never had any clutch slip issues! While I am ordering the stage 3 drop in disk, what version TOB should I order as well?
Well I called my dealership and I have an appointment next week for the TOB. Unfortunately I am over 36k miles by they said it may fall under drivetrain warranty (which I think it should, however I have mods )
Any tips for approaching the dealer and getting the TOB done under drivetrain warranty?

So i ordered a new Southbend Stage 2 Daily from Ringer Racing. Mike was great to deal with and i would definitely shop with him again.
The bummer is that SB sent me the old/bad throw out bearing design. I seem to remember them coming on here or golfmkv and telling us they were only going to ship the revised TOB with their kits but i can't find the thread.
Anyways i asked Mike at Ringer if he could have SB swap it out for me. He mentioned that LUK no longer makes the metal body revised TOB anymore so that could be a problem for us in the future.
I'll let you know what he says

i hevent heard that about LUK. But, as long as the TOB has a one piece slave shaft, it should not matter if they go back to plastic.
DEF DO NOT use the 2 piece shaft TOB they sent u

Mike got back to me and confirmed Luk is no longer making the one piece metal slave cylinder/tob so southbend can't source them and will be shipping future orders with the two piece plastic TOB.
That's kind of a bummer, I'm not really looking forward to spending another $100 if I can even find a one piece TOB.
Maybe I'll try my luck with ECS.
