►Replacing the clutch on any car is an extensive job, and that holds true on the Mk7 Volkswagen GTI or Golf R. Cory Calvin, our Motorsport Technician, breaks this job down into easy-to-follow steps to make sure anyone at home can do this job.
Unlike most of our DIYs, this job requires quite a few tools and a few others that you can get by without that simply make the job more headache-free. You can find a full list of tools at 01:00.
The Sach Performance Clutch Kit is a direct replacement for the stock Mk7 clutch. The included flywheel is lightweight and single-mass, reducing weight over stock by roughly 60%. For more information on this clutch kit, click the link below.

@karelrysavy334 2 года назад

really nice organized video! I really like the clear detailed footage and camera focus and the relevant sizes + torque specs on screen is an absolutely phenomenal idea! I have a few problems I'd need help with please. 1) installing the clutch cable on a 2009 CC ( after my first engine overhaul ). I have connected the clutch cable to the rubber / plastic connector sticking out of the transmission, but the clutch pedal doesn't exert any resistance at all. - Do I have to pour brake fluid into the dongle that is sticking out of the transmission or check the connection of this cable near the steering column? 2) as for the electrical wiring I have a few connections extra and few connections missing ;-D. Namely I have few extra CABLE connectors that don't seem to have a " partner " at driver's side near the front headlight - the biggest black / purple connectors ; 2 "male" and 1 "female" ; 1 "male" goes into the headlight ( don't know which one of the 2 males.. ) and then I'm left with 1 male and 1 female CABLES ( still the same purple connectors ) really close to each other, so it'd seem straightforward to connect them together, but they are both stemming from the same wiring harness - both basically situated on the same cable - ( from the fuse box ) so connecting them together seems like I'd create a dead end short of some sort. On the other hand on the passenger side I cannot find the biggest black / purple connector CABLE so long as to reach the relevant headlight female connector. Lastly close to this big headlight connector there is a 2 pin and a 3 pin connector, yet the 3 connectors running from the ignition coil harness ( the only option that seems viable to me ) has only 3x 2 pin connectors ( one of which plugs into the intake cam actuator ). I'd be super grateful for pictures or a short video! Willing to pay You for Your time helping me troubleshoot. Thank You ;-). karlos@skaut.cz

@Alonsel3 2 года назад

I’ve done this job 3 times now and each time keep blowing the seal on the concentric slave cylinder (new part 3 times now) -fluid flowing out of its seal and stumped as to what it is causing it to burst. One of the parts I bought said not to depress them with your hands dry. So lubrication pre installation is definitely recommended even if you pump it that many times? I’m trying one last time with a vacuum bleeder this time and will cross my fingers it works, as you said lifting that transmission off and back from the floor by yourself is not easy 🥲

@vrsix95 3 года назад

Best damn DIY video I’ve seen!

@simonh870 7 месяцев назад

Good video and very helpful, unfortunately the slave cylinder has just failed on ours at only 50,000 miles. The video does make it look easier. On my car the anti roll (sway bar) links wouldn't undo as the ball joint was spinning and the top front bolt for the LSD is very hard to access if you are lying on your back under the car.

@erikprice9492 2 года назад

Just finished up the job on my mk7 gli and wanted to bring up the setbacks I had to make it an easier job for the next guy. #1 my pressure plate bolts were not 13mm 6points bolts, they were 9mm 12 point bolts. Forced me to make another parts run because I didn’t have it. Don’t know if this is for newer cars or just the jetta. #2 when torquing down the 6mm Allen’s in the lsd don’t use a ball end Allen they strip out much easier. Might sound like common sense to some but I made the mistake of using one without realizing and ended up having to buy a replacement bolt. #3 to reach the 6mm Allen in the lsd on the passenger side, anything besides 1/4 drive sockets and extensions will not fit. Not a big deal but make sure you have at least 12 inches of 1/4 inch extensions to get to the bolt. I used a long 6 inch Allen and a 6inch extension behind it and was able to get I’m the bolt out. This next part isn’t a set back but my transmission did not have a fill hole but I measured the proper amount to go back in and haven’t had any issues. Overall the job wasn’t anything crazy or impractical to do in a driveway on stands. Only time I needed a second set of hands was getting the transmission back in place. Very awkward thing to do. Also I highly recommend plugging the clutch line as he did in the video. I just zip-tied the line as high as I could and had no issues but plugging it would have been much easier and quicker

@MeltingRubberZ28 2 года назад

Appreciate the tips bud. Will be doing this on my GLI eventually. Clutch is holding on the low torque setup for now 👍

@robertwinston2496 3 года назад

Awesome and detailed DIY. I imagine it's similar for a Mk7 Golf R. I wish VW would own the fact that they put seriously underrated clutches in these cars. I've owned many manual transmission cars and gotten > 100k miles out of the stock clutch. Mine died at 38.5k miles! WTF?!

@Kevin117 2 года назад

Got 153,000 on my stock mk7 but I agree they are underrated.

@robertwinston2496 2 года назад

@@Kevin117 That's incredible and by-in-large the exception to the rule. I believe the clutch material and flywheel were probably fine, but the clamping pressure of the pressure plate was insufficient for this car. Thankfully, my dealership agreed to cover the labor of my replacement if I covered the parts.

@oshox100 7 месяцев назад

Just a heads-up for anyone replacing a stock clutch: The pressure plate in my 2017 SE was secured by 9mm 12-point bolts instead of the 13mm hex that was shown in the video.

@extrememike 2 года назад

Agree with others that this kind of videos help us to perform this kind of jobs with more confidence. 🙏🏻👏🏻. I’m wondering if you have enough clearance to rotate and pull the transmission when you do this job on stands or in my case with a quick jack. Seems that there isn’t much room to maneuver given that you still have to put a jack between the trans and the floor.

@nikodominiko 6 месяцев назад

The one thing I know for a fact is that no mechanic shop will care for your car as you do, so they won't care that is missing one of those bolts, screws or covers after they've done the work. That's the only reason I do stuff myself. They also don't like customers hanging around when they work lol

@jhyanathan 3 года назад

Answered this question myself, after spending too many hours under the golf. The procedure is slightly different (no LSD, various fasteners are different sizes, etc)... but the steps are essentially the same, and I don't think I could have successfully replaced the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, throwout bearing guide, and throwout bearing lever without the help of this video. One thing the video didn't show, but we found immensely helpful was removing some of the driver's side front wheel housing. 5 or 6 T25 screws and you get all sorts of room to work! THANK YOU FCP, this video was super helpful!!
