Steve I think it wouldn't be a bad idea if you PM'd Toby (on ASN, VAGOC) and have a word with him. You can compare problems and see if he can help/give advice on what to do next. As it needs to be right, especially with the money it cost..

Yeah Ben think that will be a good idea,deffo some digging to be done and like you say its not a cheap kit so i need it working as it should be.

Unfortunately I found myself in the same situation with my SMF clutch from Sachs. I previously used OEM DMF + Sachs performance pressure plate and disc and everything was perfect. After installing the SMF clutch and properly burning it in for about 1000km, I couldn't change gears fast under WOT although the clutch seemd perfectly normal under normal driving. I wasn't insipired as to measure the total thickness of the clutch assemly compared to the OEm one but will do that when my Sachs SMF clutch return from expertise. In the meantime I've put back my previous Sachs performance PP and disc with a new OEm flywheel. These hold torque just fine but the OEM flywheel won't stand the torque for long (previous one lasted for 10k km only) !
PS : I've tried the SMF clutch with the disc reversed also and it did the same ! Damn, I can't even remember how many times I've switched clutches in this car :D !

What stage are you running to muller the OEM flywheel? Have Sachs taken your SMF and clutch to inspect it? A little confused by your post :ashamed:

Stage 3 with about 375HP/465NM. I have 2 clutch setups :
1) DMF (OEM) + Sachs performance pressure plate and disc
2) SMF clutch from Sachs racing
I had 1) in my car until about 6 months ago and replaced it with 2) because the oem DMF got destroyed in 10.000km (the Sachs pressure plate and disc were in perfect condition though). 2) holds torque perfectly, engagement is very precise and engine brake is a wonder compared to 1) but unfortunately it won't let me change gears fast so I removed 2) after only 2000km and sent it to Sachs for expertise. In the meantime I put back in numebr 1) with a new OEM flywheel . Hope I've made myself clear this time :)
