Clutch kit Luk or Sachs

I used an OEM equivalent Sachs clutch kit including slave. It’s holding 24psi tunes for it to redline. My slave will leak a little if extended too far, IE pushed to floor. I did not use a spacer and refuse to drop the tranny agin unless absolutely necessary. Daily driving in town and I’ll have to add fluid once a month. This fluid is bleeding by at the slave because I can see it at the weep hole on the bottom of the tranny housing.

I went with the "Performance" clutch kit from Sachs directly for ~$1300 including dual mass flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. Rated to 550+Nm. No regrets. Was SUPER stiff when I first got it, but loosened up within 300-400 miles and feels close to stock now in terms of clutch effort, more grabby than stock.

The 065 is basically like a stock clutch kit. I have the 065 behind my 01' XJ 4.0L linked with an ax-15.

Check rockauto. They have some brand name clutch kits for your car (sachs, valeo,luk). They also have the dual mass flywheel for your car as well for much less than 900$. You may not even need the flywheel replaced.

I have a used Sachs Performance clutch kit w/ single mass flywheel for TSI engines for sale. This came off my GTI when I replaced a squeaky throwout bearing. Had I known what was in the car to begin with I would have kept this clutch kit but I had already ordered a new one. The setup still clamped well without slipping before removal but the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces do have discoloration due to heat (see pictures).

After installing the Sachs clutch kit I didn't reinstall the helper spring because the pedal force level was still just right. As far as gear rattle in neutral I have zero rattle (same as when stock).

I did the Sachs Race Engineering clutch kit and a new factory DMF at 25k miles when I was getting slip with Stage 1. The new clutch has zero noise and is exactly the same sound as the original, which was my goal. With the helper spring removed the pedal force is about 25% increased but still very easy to operate. Initially the pedal force was high and almost on off operation. After 500 mile it smoothed out very nicely.

id reccomend sachs performace kit DMF version. It holds 550nm (400lb/ft) of torque and keeps the stock dual mass flywheel.

Okay - so I now have 25,000 miles on this clutch kit, with zero issues. Grabs strong, and with my bleeder block and clutch pedal spring removal the engagement point is clear and feels like it should. I don't remember what the old clutch felt like anymore, but I have been in stop/go traffic hundreds of times with this clutch kit and I think the extra grabbiness/stiffness of the pedal is the only minor downside to this kit. It's not unmanageable though!

I have the Sachs Xtend kit on my dual pulley S5 w/ss clutch line and it holds power well. My problem is that it slips on digs if I don’t quick shift into second.
