Uprated Clutch questions

[Cupra R]

Pretty much mate yeah. There may be a slight difference in pedal travel. But it's not something i have noticed to be honest.

I drove a mate's standard vRS recently and apart from almost pushing my foot through the floor when i pressed the pedal (i forgot how spongy they were  ) i would say the biting point was the same.

I'll see how it goes then mate, cheers.

It goes into gear with no issue's so it's not as if I'm not getting full disengagment.

I think they must have been talkin about SMF set-ups, they can rattle at tickover

It was probably me that confused things. Why do some people go for Sachs clutch + DMF and others go for SMF?

^^^^

In 50k miles my biting point and pedal stiffness is the same as day 1  

The only problem i have ever heard of is "Clutch Judder" which is usually due to them not being run in properly when installed. JKM did mine and had the car for a couple of days to bed it in properly before returning it to me.

Either that or they were just ragging it round Portsmouth for a laugh

i said thr same on briskoda.  i never noticed you had the sachs clutch until you told me, so its hardly a different feeling. 
you should try a paddle clutch.  my mates WR1 is horrible to drive and believe me you know its not standard when you press it down

Well, not sure why, but now with 400 mile on the clutch it seems to bite at the same point of my OE clutch.

That or I have just got used to it 

The newness smell has gone too thanks goodness

I had an uprated Sachs clutch, clutch plate cover and SMF fitted a week ago (my OE clutch was beginning to slip after 30k miles so i decided to take the plunge sooner rather than later). The pedal feel is certainly a lot heavier and the biting point is slightly higher than my previous one. I was also aware of the "new smell" initially but that seems to have disappeared now, thankfully. There is a distinct chatter from the SMF at idle which could annoy a lot of people but i'm slowly getting used to it and all in all i'm a lot happier now in the knowledge that i now have a clutch that can more than cope with the increased torque running through my transmission. Hope this helps.
