Dblock Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 It sounds like your clutch may have some slip in it. Just make sure its not wheel spin lol. The clutch is super high on mine too but I've not got slippage. It's only a matter of time though. My brothers clutch is new and his is on the ground compared to mine. Again my gearbox feels the same but my brothers is tighter. I'm sure they are some bushes and linkages you could tighten or replace but mine feels fine. Sounding like a tractor well thats a tdi for you but as you say the straight through pipe wont help but so long as it's bearable its ok.

Usually Sachs or Luk and it will cope with a remapped tdi easily. You could maybe get something harsher but it makes it harder to drive.

Nathan94 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Would a GTi bumper fit? They have flared wings and I would have thought the slam panel and rails would be different too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
