Everyone grab ya Clutch!
« on: 25 October 2003, 21:10 »
Hi guys,

I drive a slightly quicker than average 8 valve. Anyone have any mk3 clutch experience?

My clutch is fine but i am working at tightening up the whole car and wondered if a nice sports clutch would make much difference???

I know it depends on driving style but any ideas the average lifetime of your standadrd GTI clutch?

I have learnt how to drive my car but if i am a bit sloppy pulling away in first i get a weird judder, quite violent. Feels like wheels spinning but i guess it is cluch, anyone else have this?

Is the clutch worn? sports clutch will last a long time but cost a lot of money.

Cheers guys!

I have nothing to compare it too so it is hard to tell! Pick is still very good compared to other cars i have driven and if i am careful and get the right amount of revs and ease it in i get great pick up and no judder. Tis a weird one. The car is wiv the boys at AMD for a couple of days the week after next. I am having new susspension kit and chip. Will see what they think when i get my track time.

Always wanted a nice tight sports clutch in it at some point so i think i will go ahead and get it done.
