New clutch installed. Apparently my old clutch was completely fried. Initial impressions are good, the gear engages better and the feel is a lot more "solid". Will break in the clutch for approx. 500-600 miles and then re-upload the tune and test it.

So what clutch did you get, steel or aluminum? And is it the single fly wheel? Does it make the rattling noise?

It feels like stock, don't hear any more rattle or sounds than the stock clutch.. it feels like a stock for stock swap but I've only driven it 10km so far.. I'll drive it a bit more today and report back..

Maybe Neil can chime in with the technical details..

Single plate, slightly higher pressure plate load, uses the factory flywheel to keep driveability and noises to a minimum, not a lightweight aluminum flywheel, which can cause rattling.

Nice workshop, my car was there a few times as well.

Best of luck with your mods.
