Stage 2+ Clutch

[CallumB05]

Hi guys,

Just after some advise

I’ve heard AKS can supply a clutch suitable for stage 2+ (https://www.akstuning.co.uk/clutches/373-helix-orgnic-clutch-kit-for-vag-tfsi-engine.html)

Is this the best option and also what’s different between organic and 6 paddle?

Thanks

All uprated clutches will need more force to push the pedal down.
The organic clutch has the nearest to standard feel in that that is driveable in traffic. The paddle clutch has much more of an on/off feel. Less ability to drive smoothly in traffic. The organic plate clutch may need running in as the nature of the friction material means it grips well. There can be a bit of judder to begin with especially in 1st or reverse but it smooths out in time.

Thanks for the reply.
How long do clutches take to run in?
Is it safe to remap from stock to stage 2+ straight away?
Worth getting an upgraded clutch line at the same time?

I understand that the running in period can be up to 500 miles. Not on the motorway, it needs driving with lots of gear changes.
The braided clutch line is recommended with a performance clutch. Gives a more direct feel.

Best to have a look through the big builds @samuelh_888 , @leshkin or @mechanic69 and see how they progressed to ST2+, if you a good in sight plus you learn a lot
