Your IS38 may be okay. Check for shaft play. You can request any parts removed from your vehicle back under law AFAIK.
8-9% of manual cars with aftermarket clutches according to the Facebook poll. That's 8-9% of manual cars that make any power.
I just want to point out that this FB poll is easily biased/skewed. The type of people who are likely to click on a poll or thread relating to crankwalk issues are the type of people who have already had it happen to them.That's just a FB poll, which had a total of how many people?

But I will admit that the whole FB community is going to be biased towards tuned/upgraded mk7's, so that can also contribute to the higher failure numbers.
Where is this data from? The other survey on the vortex shows 2 failures out of 40 responses. One 2016 GTI and a 2017 Golf R.From what research I have done, this problem tends to happen to '15 and '16 model years and those with aftermarket clutches. I've seen DKM quoted a lot with these failures online. But it has also apparently happened to stock cars as well.

I really don't understand why so many of you guys who want dragsters don't just buy something with RWD and a big V8. Buying a hot hatch, throwing gobs of money at it to make monster power, voiding the warranty in the process, then spinning your front wheels all day is just a silly exercise in futility.

How is it easier?
Mine Could't handle it. Had to replace/upgrade my clutch immediately after my APR Stage 1 High Torque tuneYou do realize the stock clutches consistently fail with just a tune??
correct, but it's easier with RWD V8. FYI respect for those that enjoy/mod their cars. I find the GTI really didn't need much for me so all I've done is kinda rice (Helix, OBD11 stuff, red mirror caps)You don't need RWD with a big V8 to have a proper dragster. You have plenty of FWD cars that are 8 - 9 second dragsters with a shit ton of power.
