After writing that, I had to check that start was a real word. Like it just seemed like such a wierd word. Y'all ever experience that?

This is the last year for the 6 spd manual in the GTI for sure. All 2024 6 spd manuals get DCC and a couple other goodies, regardless of trim level.

I hate to do it, but I'm going to ask your guys opinion on clutches.

So I've got 32k miles on the stock clutch, daily, autocross, tracking and even a day of hot lapping at the drag strip on 200tw's.

In daily driving, clutch holds fine, but a one hard shift to 2nd with too many revs and it'll overheat and glaze for the rest of the day. That's at stg 1 EQT with an IC.

I'm going to swap out the clutch soon. I don't want anything too stiff or noisy. I'm eventually going to do an IS38, but car will go stg 2 first.

I tend to be pretty easy on clutches, I did 120k on the stock clutch in my VR6 Corrado and it was still fine when the car died and I drove that car very hard.

With that said, give me some recommendations.

My first thought was Ringer racing with DMF, their middle pressure plate and an appropriate clutch.

I'm not against SB something or other.

I was thinking about the Sachs DMF kit that's supposed to me similar to the TTRS setup or something.

Anyone have good or bad experiences with clutches? Let me know what you think I should do.

Personally I'd go with a southbend stage3 endurance for what you use the car for. It's fine in daily driving scenarios

I have this Sachs kit with a DMF on my stg2 GTI and it's been pretty good so far, but only have about 5-7k miles on it. Feels almost identical to the stock clutch, which can be a plus or minus depending on how you feel about that.
