damn son.. nice job
Thanks for the pictures. After talking to a couple dealer techs and vendors that sell and install clutches, I think I am going to pull the bevel box and leave the subframe in place.
If you watch videos for the GTI with the pp lsd, it is similar to the bevel box minus the rear drive shaft. This would also prevent me from worrying about getting the subframe lined up correctly and save me from buying more stretch bolts.
HStuning sells a bolt kit for transmission installs.I emailed them and they said they leave the subframe alone and only use that bolt kit in their shop, which includes bolts for the bevel box or pp lsd. Either way will work and get the job done. Just depends on what method you would like to take. Still trying to decide when I want to tackle this.

Looks like it might be the center prong thingy from the oil filter housing cap. Some are two piece, some one piece. (I can't be sure, since mine is on the car and I'm not going to take it off to check.)
Had you recently done an oil change at home?

took me about 11 hours and thats using a lift, no transmission stand. One thing i regret not doing was changing the rear main seal while i was in there...hitting myself on the head everyday

And is it one of those jobs that would take a third less time if you had to do it again tomorrow?

did not think of that but its a great idea considering I replaced all the stretch bolts, i could have easily used the old ones for this exact purpose....well thanks for this, will give it a go next time around as i'm sure i will be tackling this again in the future.

Wish I could claim to have invented this idea, but it was passed on to me by a friend who used to build and rebuild dragster engines.

Well, ive got to test drive the new clutch today. Everything was fine for the first 50km then i noticed some weird whinning sound when the clutch pedal was pressed. And the pedal is slightly pulsating too. The noise disappears when the clutch pedal is up. Im so frustrated right now. What do you guys think that is? Should i keep bedding it in or take it back apart ? I recorded the noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwGrNPJ_340 you can hear the noise at 00:25 and 1:43. To me it sounds like release bearing... but i ve put brand new one in.

Nobody? I made about 150km and that sound is still there. Whats interesting is that it doesnt make noise first 30-40km. Can a brand new bearing make this noise?
I made better video about the noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPPg70J8hM4
help ?

Sounds a throw out bearing to me. Even though its new, it can be faulty.
