I picked the car up on Friday after having the LWF and RS clutch fitted. Trying to manouver/reverse out of Autobahns carpark was a bit scary-the pedal action is so light now.
First impressions driving along the A45 in Coventry - the car is transformed. Instant response when blipping the throttle. The redline comes up quicker on the tach. The clutch bite is a little sharp in traffic, but that's more to do with me than the car. There's a running in period with a new clutch anyway.
After about two hours driving, I suddenly remember, "there's supposed to be more gearbox noise isn't there? Where is it?" So I put the car in neutral, and let out the clutch. Can't hear anything.... Shut of the blower and radio, and closed the sunroof. Concentrate....ahh there it is. Sounds kind of like rolling a marble across a wooden table. Pretty faint though really...
The engine fires up much more quickly, and there's no rattling/shaking when you turn the ignition off.
Absolutely NO stalling problems either.
That's it really. If you need to replace your clutch - and especially if you need the new flywheel-you'd be mad not to go for it for the extra few hundred quid it costs!
