Mind me asking if your car was modded or boosted in anyway? How many miles were on the transmission prior to the rebuild? Thanks.

The new clutch seems fine to me. Still has a small window of engagement at the top of the pedal. I supposed to get rid of that you have to do the GT2 slave.

I bought the car with a tune and an EvoMS Air intake system, it hits 1.0 to 1.2 bar. 62,000 miles. It looks like the issue came from a negligent mechanic over tightening the shift fork in the transmission.

that doesn't sound "fine" to me?! i hardly even use my clutch so i probably shouldn't even comment on them. people over do clutches when replacing then have all kind of engagement issues etc. maybe the system isn't bled properly? is it "spongy"? folks should just stay with sachs.
