    Stg2 B8.5 with very low mileage and a dead clutch

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi, I haven't posted here in a while because, well, my car has just been sitting there for the last few years, doing maybe 1k mile per year for the last few..

    Been running Unitronic Stg 2 kit since almost day 1 (7-8 years ago wow..) the car now sits at a bit under 23k miles

    I always knew the stuck clutch could handle so much but here we are, apparently, well it slips in 5th or 6th so I guess it's on its way out.

    Since I'm out of touch, I need you guy's experience on a clutch replacement that could:

    1) Handle Unitronic Stg3

    2) Feels as close to stock as possible

    3) Available in Canada (Quebec)

    4) Preferably under 3500$ USD (installed)

    Any tips & tricks is greatly appreciated

    I absolutely love my clutch setup, spec stage 3+ and ecs aluminum fw. Will hold about double that, and feels stock. About 2k in parts so leaves you a good bit for labor

    What's the feel like? How hard is it (say) in traffic?

    Any noise with that flywheel? I always hear people complaining about noise when they ditch the dual-mass flywheel.

    Ringer Racing or go home. Might have to drive to the states to get it done for a good price. Or you can get a clutch from them and have someone install it.

    I went with the stage 5. I'm done messing around lol

    Sachs performance, clutch and flywheel. A little bit harder clutch pedal, but thats kind of understandable considering stock is a feather.

    Sorry. Didn't notice you have a S4. Disregard my suggestion. Have no idea what a S4 clutch should be or feel.

    This is my

    Yeah, it might be a better idea to post this in the S4 section to get some answers.
