Post clutch install question?

[dirkdiggler]

I changed out:

New LUK dual mass flywheel

New Sachs clutch kit

throw-out bearing

and pretty much all the parts in Pelican Parts Super Clutch replacement kit

Like I said, I havent drove it yet so I am hoping everything is installed correctly and good too go..... Fingers crossed.

It just seems sooo much easier to push in than before.

I had the IMS bearing replaced late last year. When they looked at the clutch, it still had more than half life left (40k miles), so I elected to keep it, but I did replace the throw-out bearing, it was making noise. Even without replacing the clutch itself, the pedal was noticeably easier to push after the work. They mentioned lubrication when I asked why.

You bought good componets and if you were brave enough to tackle this on your own and you put it back togather without alot of parts left over (scratching head wondering where this goes) then you should be fine. I always start my car on the stands and run through the gears letting the wheels spin and listen to componets. You could do that but you should be fine. Let us know. The clutch in my beetle has so little resistance that whenever anyone use to driving an older MKIV drive my car they slam the clutch pedal into the floor the first few times they shift. I also get a big-eyed look with a funny grin from them. Kinda like sorry didn't know that was going to happen.

Also interested in the year of your car, the mileage and what your RMS and IMS were doing. Any leaks? You know that kind of stuff.
