Abrupt? A go with my clutch will soon show you the meaning of abrupt.
But half way up is normal or not?

I had the uprated pressure plate and Sachs Organic clutch, the biting point is a bit different but from what I remember very easily controlled for slip etc.
I must admit I cannot remember whether it was halfway up or whatever, but it is probably normal to be fair.

Checked with CBP and it seems to be normal practice.Also told that it will change when bedded in and that can take 750 miles.

Yeh mine is about half way up, I remember thinking it was going to be really low down when I got into my car after it been fitted at JBS.
I reversed out of the car park revving it like a granny thinking when is it going to bite.....It felt slight 'abrupt' for the 1st 500miles. On the way back from JBS I came home the back way...avoiding motorways so I could change gear lots of times to promote the bedding in.

Which SACHS is this? The paddle one?
What is it rated at?
U've already said Organic....
Also, did you not choose to do flywheel?

Its not a paddle and its rated at 550nm Chris.Its the race one on Sachs website
I did not have the dmf replaced as I had a new one fitted with a std clutch 30k ago.
Changed to an uprated clutch due to slip.
Dmf looked like new when the old clutch was removed, with no more play in it than when it was fitted new

Aah.
This must be the one up from mine.
550nm = 405lb/ft
Mines only rated at 305lb/ft or 410nm.

Mine's rated to nearly 600 lb/ft - at the wheels!
Never going to break it. ![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
Halfway up sounds about right to me.

got mine done at jabba and first time i rove it i stalled lmao its cool i think there all like this
I still stall mine now if I'm rushed into something. Classic example is meeting someone head-on in the Devon lanes down here. Brake to stop and usually stall it after putting it in reverse to get into a passing place.... It's amazing how it stalls too - It's not like it strains, then just coughs and dies - It just goes CLUNK, off!
A great clutch though. Acceleration through the gears is awesome as shifting can be done really fast due to the lightweight singlemass flywheel.
