SRE Clutch - Sachs OEM+ Clutch Review - The real alternative for tunned GTIs!

I can't find a mk6 GTi clutch there, just older 1.8t ones. They tend to be TDi specialists. Well known on the MK6 UK Facebook page :)

You have to email them.

Had this kit installed as well. Everything the OP said is true, its not as loud as expected but there is some noise. I'm still in the break in period. The grab of the clutch is crazy, i also noticed that the car starts much and drives smoother (im assuming due to the light flywheel).

I absolutely love mine. I also have the fluidampr pulley installed but mine is inaudible in the cabin (over aftermarket mounts, catback and downpipe) and barely audible while standing outside the car. It gets noisy with the AC on, but otherwise I hardly notice it. Keeping the car in gear over ~4k and coming off the gas, it whines a bit but you'd never notice it if you arent looking for it. Absolutely love it.

Darn that's disappointing. I can barley hear mine unless I really listen for it. But it's audible with the A/C on. I was hoping a fluidampr would make it completely sound free even with the a/c on. Guess not.

I never had it installed without the pulley so I can't compare, but if the radio is off, I can definitely hear it inside the cabin. Not annoyingly loud for me but you can hear it.

After installing this clutch i've experienced some trouble quickly shifting into gear, it feels like i need to wait half a second before going into gear sometimes. Also the clutch feels like it sticks in first gear/reverse sometimes and i have to force it out. Has anyone experienced this problem?

The symptoms im describing are whats refereed to as "clutch creep" but this kit does not come with a throw out bearing spacer.

It sounds like you might just need to adjust your shifter cables.

I wish it was that easy. I actually installed a new short shifter after getting the clutch install and i've adjusted it like 20 times. The shifter is perfect. The problem is the transmission/clutch. Can't figure out what it is. Ive bled the transmission multiple times, adjusted everything. Used all brand new parts during the install. At a loss.
