Clutch

Post by Peterovicz »

Hello everyone

Which clutch kit do you recommend to buy?

Mine unfortunately started to slipping and practically everything is going to down starting with brake calipers and ending with abs sensor

Anyway, thanks for help and have a good day

I’m thinking to take from Ryanrotaryperfomance the stage 1 clutch is that will be overpowered for normal daily drive or it will be alright?

If its the original and you haven`t considered it I would change the clutch slave cylinder or at least re-seal it while he clutch is being changed.

The Pagid part is as good as OEM and much cheaper, especially as you can 40-45% OFF
