Clutch change / gearbox

Featured Replies

I have been waiting on a shortlist supposedly for clutch but heard nothing, I think they are overbooked with work at AKS and to be fair I should really have been chasing, but I hardly use my car so not really been a priority - been isolating as my wife has been under treatment for cancer anyway.

Having successfully (touch wood!) sorted a clutch on wifes citigo, being a give it a go kind was wondering has anyone tried on Octavia 5e (2.0 TSI) manual 6 gear to sort the clutch?

Its over standard power and I find that its starting to slip at demanding higher power/ foot down.

I can drive reasonably normally for now, for the most part this is fine as the UK is becoming a giant speed camera pothole anyway but could be useful if ever wanting to serve a dual purpose of visits to pod / track where power can be more unleashed with mostly less consquence, again touch wood.

Might also be useful time to review the differential / or reports of weak 4th gear shaft support? I gather people use something like this. I think I'm not brave enough for that kind of work though and would seek assistance from an engineering company.

That said some interesting videos on youtube do reveal some of the secrets behind it - like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldr4wyHQ5g0


For the clutch might be a job similar to this though its for a Seat ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6MkMAQeOJ4
