Sounds like its working well, has it passed the acid test for wheel hop??

....Wheel hop on my GTI has been a thing of the past for some time - The combination of my suspension mods and possibly the Quaife have totally sorted such inclinations.

Don't agree with that in the slightest. When the clutch is fully engaged, be that in a manual or in the DSG, the torque reaction will be identical.

....Let me re-word it for you: The actions of the clutch on the DSG are controlled to be smooth, the actions of a human driver banging out the clutch (in extremis) is not controlled to be smooth and hence less stressful.
That's what I understand from what I've been told.

So a manual shift driver dumps the clutch on every gear change????? :stupid:
And a DSG is NEVER used for rapid launches???? :stupid:
I'll state again - a manual clutch and a DSG will be IDENTICAL in their torque reaction!
