Forgive me if this been posted on but I was getting weird search results so thought I'd just ask.

Just replaced stock clutch with Spec 2+. Also, replaced stock dual mass flywheel with same since it had some heat damage on it. Car is an x50 with UMW flash to 1.2 bar and UMW wastegate actuators. Car has about 30k miles on it. Since the engine was out replaced the power steering reservoir to end the whining.

My problem is that the clutch is very, very grabby. I knew it might be a little more than OEM but I'm struggling. Had someone else drive the car and they killed it about every other time. I'm getting better but its nerve wracking and downright embarassing. Is this typical for this clutch? Is there further adjustment that would help? Will the surfaces change after breakin? Do I just need to give it more time to get used to it?

 

I feel your pain buddy..I'm experiencing the same thing with my Sachs...

The problem here is the crappy TT's hydraulics...I'm told that a GT2 conversion makes it all much more user friendly..

I feel like a complete idiot when driving mine lol.....and actually I'm avoiding busy places...As I have a LWFW too and I can hear people laughing at me hearing the FW noise and watching me moving the car like a complete idiot..LOL
