PARTS where to get these: Clutch and pressure plate upgrade maybe lightened flywheel

[Jmac]

Yep so there is the answer for the chatter, and it isnt that bad, as mentioned well lost count but have fotted plenty and have i know some have done at least 60K+ with zero issue. Ive done a Golf lately that went the heavier flywheel, all good too, dont make the mistale of not using a sprung clutch, so thats why these guys make a kit, it is for a Golf 1.8T but thats what you have really with some basic differnces( in the timing belt area and of course the AGU is heaps stronger internally, but thats anther topic that has been super exhausted)
The kit is good and gives you factory feel, ive fitted a few perfomance kits non ECS and have been good to enhance your left quads, hams and calves. Still these clutches were bloody good, depends what you want, done a few Kevlar ones too.
Ac on at the lights is when you will hear it , ive done Redline on a few, i would recommmend MTL and its does dampen it heaps, enjoy your spool up, cheaper clutch replacement, your factory feel and turn up the Balearic sounds and enjoy your car.

Thanks BR for the offer, see if this tread populates with interest.

Great animation, I had no idea what the point was until I saw the spring move, very clever. thanks Greg

Jimmy has a lot of experience doing these clutches and very welcome commentry and facts on the subject.

As suggested gearbox oil change with Redline MTL oil, which of these would be suitable? MTL 70W80 GL4 Gearbox and are these an option?

MT 90 75W90 Gearbox, MT 85 75W85 Gearbox.

MTL 70W80 is what you want mate. Buy it from PerformanceLub.com for a steal.

Hey Jimmy - you know you say about replacing the ECS release bearing? Why is this? Also my ECS bearing as a VW part number on the bag - 02A 141 165M, but there's no marking's whatsoever on the bearing itself - so should I replace it before fitting? It's not a big deal, my mum can bring one over from the UK in like 2 weeks.

Anyone tried the Adelaide-made Xtreme clutches?

Anyone tried the Adelaide-made Xtreme clutches?

From South Rd/Grand Junction? I had one in my A3 and sold a couple, once they got the cover sorted they were a good option. Just too pricey, that would be much worse now unless their prices have dropped through the floor.

Is ECS tuning def the best place to get the 14lb flywheel kit then?
It's currently on sale for $309 USD + $250 shipping.
I was going to chuck in their clutch installation kit (new stretch bolts and what not) and an OEM bearing.
