Hello.

Ive just got a new release bearing for a smf conv on the vrs. It looks near identical to the dmf version. Well the new one is 0.5 ish mm thicker. I was expecting it to be quite a bit different

Should be identical as it's the same part number.

 

It's a VR6 clutch kit. The VR6 Golf/Corrado used the same family of gearbox as the Mk1 RS, hence the release bearing is common and the whole reason behind using the VR6 clutch kit.

 

If it was different you should be concerned!
