I have a SPEC racing clutch I picked up from ecstuning. I had it installed a year ago and put about 8k miles on it. It has been acting funny and I had it checked over by Linden Volkswagen before my trip to SOWO, it checked out fine.
The symptoms I have been having over the past month is the following:
- Clutch pedal sticks sometimes.
- Some times on take offs it will grab very low and not return to neutral unless I move forward to go into second gear.
I drove it on the highway last night into South Philly and the car was fine, take off RPM was at around 1200-1400 rpms with no issues.
Yesterday I had a lot of pedal stick when driving around the town to grab food from wawa and spoke with SPEC and they said the Slave/TOB is failing. My local mechanic said the TOB/Slave was failing too.
What was recommended:
-Buy a new clutch kit, (Another $1000 plus labor) to solve my problem.
There are no signs of slipping AT ALL. Just a sticky clutch pedal sometimes and a quick grab onto first gear during take offs (happens once every few days)
What WOULD you guys do if you were in my situation. I have a stage 2 GIAC tuned GTI with other mods, I have the SPEC clutch from ECS tuning, stage 3 on my car.
