So a few of us had the question of whether this would actually work. There are sites saying no and coming up with whatever. I can say that it works in my car. I did the proper adaptations through INPA and just used the regular LUK clutch kit. I can drive hard because I'm following clutch and rod bearing break in but at 500 miles, I want to see how this will perform under WOT at an 8200rpm shift. So far daily driving has been great.
So initially is was all messed up. The ECU was not adapted to this engine and idling was pretty bad. Whenever the automatic downshift would occur, I would get misfires and idling was rough. Starting was also a struggle as it would misfire up until 1500rpm. I thought this may have been related but now it's normalized and does fine.
After 130 miles everything seems perfectly fine. It appears as though Neutral engages and 1st is just disengaging the clutch. To reduce chatter, I pop it in N to reduce noice and vibrations. The chatter is still there but it's much quieter, especially after put miles on the flywheel. The chatter is less noticeable than I expected now. At first, it was pretty bad but now it's just normal. My exhaust is also loud so it hides it some. On a stock exhaust you'll hear a faint chatter inside the cabin. Externally will at least be heard by the cars next to you.
Pending performance update. I will absolutely come back once I can let 'er rip tater chip. We'll see in 370 miles.
