Default South Bend OFE Stage 3 Clutch--Awesome!

I just picked my car up after having a South Bend OFE Stage 3 Clutch installed and it's awesome. The B5 stock clutch travel sux, but this new one engages like my GTI did. Pedal feel is lite (like stock), but engages almost immediately and smoooooth. No chatter, etc. Definitely very happy! :thumbup:

SERIOUSLY! break that thing in nice or you will hate yourself forever. That is a great system and it does take quite a bit of CITY driving to break in. I put on 800 miles not counting highway w/ my new clutch system.

Are you able to feather the clutch with the stage 3? Or do you have to fully let the clutch out to engage the gear?

It feels totally normal except that it engages very early (almost immediately), much like my GTI did.
