Reviews of Sachs clutch kit

I have an 03 AWP GTI 1.8t. My clutch was dying on me recently and I did some research. I went with Sachs VR6 Single-mass lightweight 14lbs flywheel clutch kit. The clutch feels a bit different for sure, in my opinion. This is just what I have experienced and may not be the same across the board. On the highway in 5th gear, when I hit around 3k RPM's, I get a drone while accelerating and sometimes while coasting. It's sort of a low, pulsing sound. It goes away as soon as I disengage the clutch and coast though. Also, at first, the clutch was super \"grabby.\" Like... more sensitive than my stock clutch. I've finally gotten used to it (2 months later).

i have the parts you need to replace

i'm gonna order this stuff from ECS this week

I have the stage 1 F1 kit on my VR6 and also my 8v (G60 trans using this VR6 kit), it is a genuine Sachs pressure plate and TOB, only the disc is Japanese. The disc is made by ASCO, which is Aisin the same people who made several transmissions for VW/Audi. You are not getting junk by any means, the products are OEM brands.

SACHS Power Clutch Kit

Sachs VR6 Clutch Kit

Okay, transmission of power; I found a heavy duty Sachs clutch kit, it has 20% increased clamping force. Pressure plate, clutch disc, throwout bearing, push rod, bushing and seal, clutch cable and all new bolts, and the release arm just in case.

Just put the stage 1 kit w/ 16.5 lb flywheel. HUGE DIFFERENCE! Throtle responce and acceleration are definitely improved.

I got this setup from ecs tuning a few months ago when I rolled over 113k miles. Im not closing in on 121k miles and its help up fine. Not to much clutch chatter, and actually I prefer the pedal feel over my mkV.

I have a Sachs kit from mjmautohaus for $329. I have to wait and measure the bell housing to see if the 228mm kit will fit.
