    EQT Stage 2 Clutch Slipping or Something Else?

    Lots of folks are running the SB Stage 3 Daily in my area so it was highly recommended. I also like that it can hold more power if I decide to go IS38 or Hybrid.

    EQT Stage 2 Clutch Slipping or Something Else?

    I recommend SB Stage 3 Daily. I have one and it holds my EQT stage 2 power easily and isn't much heavier than stock after break-in. It chatters, but not anywhere near as bad as my old MK4 GTI with the Sachs VR6 clutch kit. As for crank walk, it happens to cars on stock power and the stock...

    Clutch Slipping At 13K Miles

    I had the SB Stage 3 Daily and a Fluidampr installed on my 2017 GTI SE last year. Went EQT Stage 2 after the break-in and I'm loving it.

    Aftermarket Clutch Route: What Should I Do if You Were Me? (Yes another clutch related thread) + Wavetrack LSD

    Southbend Stage 3 Daily. Clutch pedal isn't heavy at all after break-in. Expensive, but worth it. Buy once, cry once. Also, SB clutches can be rebuilt for significantly cheaper than buying a new kit.

    Downpipes

    I'm running a Milltek catted DP and Awe Track catback and it definitely doesn't sound like a tractor. Sounds refined and not too loud. I recommend looking at EQT for a tune.

    Is my clutch [finally] slipping?

    Had mine replaced with an upgraded kit since the trans was already out and it was cheap insurance in case my OEM RMS would have leaked later on in life. Worth the peace of mind for me.

    Is my clutch [finally] slipping?

    I don't know if it actually helps protect against crank walk or not, but it's supposed to smooth out the engine after removing the factory DMF. I don't notice a big difference, but it can't hurt. Also, some say it helps quiet down SMF chatter, but I still hear it with mine, so YMMV. I know...

    Is my clutch [finally] slipping?

    ^ This. I had a SB Stage 3 Daily installed last month and also had the iABED RMS and a Fluidampr installed at the same time.

    How long did your factory clutch last

    I have a 2017 GTI SE and my clutch started slipping in 4th gear at about 6K miles with a JB1. Never launched it and never gave WOT in higher gears. Just bad luck I guess. I pulled the JB1 off and ran stock tune until 22K miles. My stock clutch could have probably lasted me years, but it wouldn't...

    Cobb Launch Control vs Stock Launch Control

    I'm considering getting EQT stage 2 and opting for the Cobb LC. Do you have it? And if so, how do you activate it?

    Upgrade Clutch Stage 2 for DD

    Mine was the 1.8T with the VR6 clutch kit, but my buddy had a 24V VR6 with a catback and it sounded amazing. I also would love an R32.

    Upgrade Clutch Stage 2 for DD

    I had a Southbend Stage 3 Daily installed in my 2017 GTI with 21K miles on it last week. I'm currently 250-ish miles into the 1,000 mile break-in (SB recommends 500 or so clutch-in miles, so 1,000 should cover me). My OEM clutch was fine under stock power, but slipped in 4th gear with a JB1, so...

    New world record with stock OEM parts!!

    Hate to break it to you, but Apple Maps isn't bone stock, so your run does not count.

    Veloster N

    Meh. The DCT issue was addressed via a software fix. The rest is people not understanding how a DCT works and maybe that wasn't a good move for Hyundai, but being a MT guy, I find that it drives wonderfully. Every car has issues. Some more than others. I mean, I'd rather have an overheated...
