Got my Sachs organic jobbie fitted last week. As said, the pedal has a heavier feel but i like that. No juddering or noises coming from mine.

My pedal feels very high with my sachs clutch plate.  Had the plate and new DMF not yet had the pressure plate fitted.

Mike, my pedal engages lower than it did with o/e. Didn,t need a flywheel as mine was inspected and appeared in good nick.

i thought you had to have both cover plate and pressure plate fitted at same time?

I did anyway...but stuck with the OEM flywheel. 

It sure does feel "racy" anyway...as in you want to change gears even quicker! Bite is certainly a lot more aggressive.

Its b***ox about having to change the flywheel - money making propaganda springs to mind - obviousley some are knackered but not to the extent dealers would have you believe i think.

AmD didn't even ask me about the flywheel actually! They just offered the cover/pressure plates. But they do normally ask about the cars mileage before advising if the flywheel should be done also.

you sure it was Mike. The flywheel should will rotate left to right a few cm,s - doesn,t mean its knackered but a lot of people think that means it is.

Dont know the serviceable limit of movement or even the actual amount of movement on my flywheel.

When showed and advised to me it was fubared I was inclined to believe what I was been told.  Any of the tuners I use have much more experience with the Tfsi than me. 

Really wish I didnt have to shell out nearly 500 on a new flywheel cause Id have a diff now :(

i have recently had my sachs performance clutch installed, it has not covered any miles since install. on the first test drive it judders in 1st and reverse but once its moving its fine through the gears. have most of you guys experienced this or does it sound abnormal??
