Title: Clutch change - What should you do at the same time?
Post by: Mk5 GTian on December 21, 2012, 09:33:57 am

I read on a thread recently that whilst you are changing your clutch there was something else you should do to save on labour, or it might have been the other way round, i.e. you are changing something and might as well do the clutch as well?  :confused:

Thanks Dom, so I might as well just go Stage 2, not Stage 2 plus, and save the clutch change for later down the road when I can afford a Quaiffe diff, then go 2+? (I have a lot of other mods to do before the diff, and the clutch is fine at the moment)

So build plans should look like this:
