Make sure to check your flywheel for warpage. If you have hard burn rainbow colored spots on it, consider replacing it. Some people resurface and reuse their stock dual mass flywheel, but some don't-and you should really look into why some don't do that before making a decision. If you don't see any indication of warpage on your fw, just take a rotory grinder (sander) and scuff up the surface a little so the new clutch will mate up and break in nicely. Stay away from single mass and very light-weight flywheels unless you like chatter and a very direct on/off clutch engagement feel.
