Yes – a new clutch should be broken in. We recommend a break-in period of several hundred kilometers after installation, typically around 500 km (for some setups, even up to 1,000 km). During this time, the clutch lining optimally adapts to the flywheel and pressure plate, manufacturing and handling residues are "removed," and a clean contact pattern is formed. This ensures optimal functionality and durability later on.Important: If the clutch is overloaded or "abused" during the first kilometers, the lining can overheat and get damaged (e.g., glazing/warping). Such damages are generally not covered by warranty because they result from improper use.How to properly break in your new clutchStart gently and moderate loads: During the first kilometers, avoid full-throttle starts or hard launches.Shift up early / shift down late: Keep RPMs and loads low, especially in lower gear ranges.Do not let it slip: Especially on hills, do not "hold" with the clutch, but start with the handbrake instead.No additional load: During the first 500 km, avoid towing trailers/caravans and strong continuous loads as much as possible.Is "clutch judder" normal at the beginning?Yes, after a clutch replacement, occasional judder or a slightly different pedal/start feel may occur in the first kilometers. This usually settles during the break-in period.However, if the judder remains noticeable even after about 1,000 km, you should have it checked in a workshop – it could be due to an installation or adjustment issue (release system, flywheel, alignment, etc.).

Product information "Pressure Plate Clutch Reinforced VW Golf MK4 1.8T GTI Bora V5 V6 VR6 Passat Audi A3 A4 A6 TT Seat Leon Ibizia 240 mm SACHS"

SACHS Performance clutch pressure plates differ from a normal series disc in, among other things, a higher torque and greater resistance to strong thrust.
Due to a shorter clutch release, faster and sportier shifting is possible.
The pressure plate is particularly suitable for road tuning, for long-distance racing, mountain racing (eg group N) and for vehicles that carry a heavy load.

Sachs Performance clutch plates are the perfect complement to our lightweight flywheels

Depending on the requirements, they are used with different clutch discs

clutch disc - EPYTEC sintered coating (click here)

Advantages of the Sachs performance pressure plate compared to the series pressure plate:

higher transmittable torque
higher pressing force
less lift
exactly identical to the series clutch plate, AND easy replacement of the clutch disc

Ideal for the following areas of application

chip-tuning
turbo and compressor conversions
trailer operation
vehicles for different drivers (e.g. company vehicles)
1/4 mile race
circuit racing (e.g. endurance racing, motor sport, cross)
hill climb (e.g. category N)
rallies (e.g. category N)
slalom
drift

Optimal quality

original spare part quality
produced according to the requirements and specifications of the automobile manufacturer
The quality of these spare parts is equal to or higher than that of the products that the car manufacturer sells under its own brand
