I have barely used southbend stage 3 daily for use with Dual Mass Flywheel. It is intended for a b5 1.8t, but works with any VAG 4 cylinder mated to an 01e or 01a transmission.
The southbend part number is K70205-SS-O- DMF, the cost was $768.57 for the clutch, and the LUK DMF was about $170 new.
This clutch was excellent. Drives great, not grabby at all. The pedal effort is more than stock for sure, but very manageable.
This has about 2000 miles on it, and was broken in properly. It has zero issue holding my big turbo hot rodded TDI. I am switching it out for a larger DMF setup because the gasoline DMF cannot deal with the sudden onset of torque from the diesel. The clutch holds it, but when rolling into the power in higher gears I can feel the DMF shudder. A major bummer because I have a lot of money into this clutch, and I like it a lot, but it will not work with the bigger DMF.
My loss is your gain.
Asking $400 for the whole setup. Buyer pays shipping.
