Yeah that thing is smoked. I was going to say if it was slipping during shifting or slipping and then grabbing then maybe it just had some glaze on it from improper use. But yeah… if it’s doing that then it’s time for a replacement. :nod

i know what a slipping clutch is, and its dual mass, once it slips there is no, ehh maybe it was a glazed spot. once they slip they are done for… too bad its not a travis clutch because atleast he could still floor it in 1-4th… it would only slip in 5th :crackup this thing is done for slips hard in all gears.

TDI clutch is a DMF and it slips on command in 5th and sometimes in 4th if i goose it. but a lil hairspray lets it hold for close to a month.

thats your fault. and a clutch isnt hard. the TDI has mk4 mounts, makes it a much easier job.

and? unlike pete i try to help people, pete just posts anything he deems necesary, then tells kids to go search, even though he doesnt know it himself… i was about to go to bed last night, but got up, went and met this kid at like 130 in the morning with the coilpacks, then went back and checked out the car for him to see whats up. dont give me that rolling your eyes childish remark bro.

I just don’t want to see the bickering between you guys. I know you’re out there to help, and I know this kid and everyone else appreciate it.

this only occurs because pete feels he needs to post his trailer park clutch repair technique, which wont help anyone, then continues to post about his findings with his exhaust… i post in this thread what i see with the jetta this kid owns, and hopefully he picks up that clutch, i feel bad for this kid, nothing like buying a car then the clutch goes south on you.
