Title: clutch mod
Post by: mkviken on 04 November 2012, 09:44
the reason the gTI clutch is so poor is down to the dual mass flywheel and this bleed block which is also a fluid restrictor to dampen down the pedal feel

there is an after market one for the mk5 but not the mk6.

the OEM one linked above can be modified by simply removing the clip and the bleed nipple part then the restrictor just falls out.

as far as i can find this has the same affect as the aftermarket part and gives the clutch pedal more feel/modulation



anyone tried this on here?

this is the aftermarket one

I'd be interested to see how this works on the standard clutch. I've toyed with the idea of an uprated clutch since I modified the car, but maybe there's no need  :smiley:
