now that is alot 
no wonder it revs up quicker hehe... One more ques.. Familiar with clutch dragging? When i changed the flywheel, pressure plate and clutch i also changed hydraulic fluid and release bearing. Then boom i started to have clutch dragging. So i changed also the Master of the clutch, bled it (lost count of number of times) and still had the same problem... sometimes (especially when pressing the pedal often due to parking or driving in small spaces) the gears (mainly first and reverse) remain stuck and with the clutch pedal fully depressed the car still moves O_O. I'm starting to believe that i got a faulty release bearing

Aye looks like he did, sounds like it might be a duff slave cylinder.
EIther that or it needs to be bled again.

To be honest i used the one supplied from SPEC... As for Bleeding i tried the normal way and even with forced air.. but no air pockets were present and i did this for at least half a dozen times :/ now i ordered an original slave cylinder / release bearing hoping it will solve the problem.. Issue is i have to remove the whole gearbox again
Was the one supplied by SPEC an OEM one?
When I did my Helix SMF they supplied a new VAG slave cylinder/release bearing as part of the kit.

@ csd_19 Have no idea if it's an OEM to be honest, But still i have no way out except to remove the gearbox and change it... i'm running out of options!
I know it's a pain to have to change that again. No fluid leaks anywhere on the hydraulic line from the master?Dvella

I have checked the entire system to be honest but found no leaks, and even when i changed the master just to be sure i re-checked! What i found is a strange object in the hydraulic line between the master and gearbox.. have a look at it maybe you know what it is as not even the local dealer had any idea lol (BTW hope the link works as its my first time using it hehe)

Okay that is known as the "frequency modulator" - damps out the fluid motion to and from the clutch plate when you push the pedal

Thanks for that at least i know what it is and hopefully it doesn't look like it could be the problem! I just came from the garage and to my surprise i found a gromet (quite a large one) stuck under the levers for gear change.. i'm really hoping that was the problem however cannot confirm before Sunday as i'm a bit tight Will let you know how it works out!!!!
