Ordered my Stage 1 Clutch today from ECS.

Can't wait to get it in.

However the invoice was sent to me in a PDF format as the bill to name JASON and not RYAN. No idea how that was interpreted but I know I didn't put it in wrong when ordering.

Hope it still makes it.

 

how much did it run ya? i couldnt find it on the website. did u get a new FW?

 

How much TQ is it rated to hold, I found that it seemed a little to expensive for my taste so I went with SPEC like MeanAudi, but hey to each his own.

 

$349 with free shipping.

Here is the description on the website:

This is our #1 selling clutch kit. MostMk4 4 cylinder carswill damage the stock dual mass flywheel when the clutch starts slipping. The dual mass flywheel when bought from V/W is over $500.

Hey does any one know if this will fit a 2000 TT 1.8t FWD? If not what would be the best offer for a clutch and flywheel?


Thanks,
Ryan

 

Man you dug up an old thread.

It should fit no problem.

After a few months of driving my impressions are nothing but good. Others really hype SPEC though so look into that as well.

 

I have this clutch installed on my 2000 FWD TT. - Its pretty sweet. - It holds much better than the stock TT. - The clutch peddle itself will feel considerably lighter than the stock version. (Note its common, and extremely scary at first) - Anywho ..it is worth the buy... however you will notice more tranny noise in your car because of the lighter flywheel. - but its hard to notice.


I wouldn't take the purchase back, Also depending on if you need it or not i'd suggest you replace the starter at the same time. - its right there and you can get them on ebay for around $100. - Mine was starting to go, and it was a free install because its right there when they are removing the clutch/flywheel.


just food for thought!
