You lot are a bit tight with your info.......drove this the other day. 3rd to 4th changing at 5500rpm = no problem. At 6000rpm+ it will not go in, drops into neutral but will not pull back into 4th unless you pause, by which time RPM has dropped. Obviously no good for the Pod or 30-130 days.
Loads of threads regarding Sachs clutches, surely someone has seen this!!! Looking at possibley an uprated clutch myself so more info the better. DSGers do not need to reply.

Did you change your flywheel? As I'm being told if its just started to slip and there is no juddering from the flywheel I should be ok! :confused: I've switched my map off and the cars driving fine

Yes mate i had the job lot done,had a SMF fitted though.
infact when it was removed the flywheel looked more of a mess than the clutch plates :confused:
I put mine back on the standard map aswell while i waited for the sachs clutch to be delivered but after a few days it was slipping on that.
If i was you i'd change the flywheel at the same time to just to be on the safe side otherwise you might be kicking yourself and its gonna cost you more in the long run.

sounds like you pressing on the clutch isnt actuating the mechanism correctly.
If you try driving up to 5500rpm then lift but not touch the clutch pedal its easy for the lever to shift into neutral under no load.
Does the SMF replicate the distances etc of the OE clutch?
You may be (due to some incorrect or incompatible component)at the limit of your clutch adjustment.
I would also be looking at checking your clutch master cylinder fluid level, maybe bleed it, and maybe trying pumping the pedal a few times,then going 'ballls out' soon after to see if the change up 'works' as a result...
hth

Yes it's the same the OE clutch, the cable has been ajusted but hasnt made any difference at all..
Will check the fluid though.
It looks like im not the only one thats having this problem with the sachs kit...

It really makes me wonder about the aftermarket parts that are on the market for these cars,so far i've had nothing but problems.
john_o:
come to think of it, Im sure a user reported on here that the clutch was wrong for the car once Sachs got involved.
found it
