How are you liking this clutch still to date? My MK7 GYI needs another clutch, due to the TOB/Slave failing again. I currently have SB STG3 Endurance, but I bought it for $1700, before COVID prices hit, and now the same kit is $2100. I’m not about to spend that kind of money for a clutch. Looking at this clutch right now and curious how you like it still?

So far so good man no issues at all! The only down side I can see is obviously the chatter is kinda loud and I don’t think this will last as much as like a organic disc setup, being a (racing use) 6 puck clutch setup I don’t think it will last as long. But for the money stage 2 is rated to 680ft pounds so I think it’s perfect

@@ChrisFromKenya Thanks for the reply bud! The chatter doesn’t bother me. I’ve already ran two DKM Stage 2 and one Southbend Stage 3 Enduarance kits on my MK7 GTI. The DKM Stage 2 chatter was pretty loud. SB not so much. But both kits had pretty heavy pedal feels (DKM was heavier than SB). So I’m used to chatter and a heavy pedal feel. I just had this XClutch Stage 2 installed, and wow. The pedal is very light! Just like OEM. Very nice! I’m still in break in, but so far loving it! The XClutch Kit definitely looks like a better build than DKM or SB, and due to it using a 6-puck, the pressure plate doesn’t need to be so stiff like DKM or SB, hence why the clutch pedal is softer. I also opted to use an OEM TOB/Slave instead of the one that came in the XClutch kit (they provided the all-metal version), because I just haven’t had good luck with the TOB/Slaves that came with the kits themselves. Hopefully going OEM, I don’t have any more TOB/Slave failures. Can’t wait to actually get on this thing, but I’m very anal about sticking with break-in + more, so I’m probably going to go a fell 1,200 miles for break-in before I get on it. I’m only 130 miles into it right now, so a long way to go haha.

@@JacesOwnWorld Yours must of had the clutch reshimmed when installed which i didnt do. The pedal feel is definitely 50% over stock feel, it has a 2600lb pressure plate so it is nowhere near stock feel. I wish Xclutch offered a Full face cera-metallic for less harsh engagement. The All metal TOB can handle the most abuse, the one in the kit is the European/International style used for their OEM just rebranded. Clutch can definitely take the abuse, I autocrossed/tracked/roll raced mine until it grenaded a few days ago with 32k miles on it. Next I'm going is DKM Stage 3 or XClutch Twin Disk. Enjoy the clutch, wasn't fun to daily drive 20k+ miles a year with my girlfriend, as she hated it. If you have upgraded motor/trans mounts and dogbone the chatter will be multiplied. #racecar. Never slipped on me once though and I'm EQT Stage 2 E30 which is awesome.

I had 3 trackdays, 2 seasons of autocross, and multiple roll races until it grenaded @ 32k miles. It will last 40+ if you drive more conservative and don't use it for its designated purpose..(Racing, and HPDE's). This was all on EQT's Stage 2 E30.

So fast review, it’s definitely chatters quite a bit and you just have to get used to how grabby it is when it engages, but other than that holds all the power and pedal is heavy. I would say overall if your gonna do a basic stage 2 setup their stage 1 clutch would be perfect but if your gonna do anything more this is a really really good option. Quality was also very good!
