I'm working on my new to me 2005.5 2.5.
I had it about a week when the Clutch Slave failed.
I had the same hard shifting, lurching into reverse and all that was described above.

I tried old school bleeding and it would come up but not stay, so I replaced the Slave cylinder.

I've been through hell trying to get the new slave bleed,
Used my reverse flow pump (no luck),
Standing gravity bleed (nope didn't work either),
Even a pressure bleeder (well, that gave me disengagement for about 10 minutes),
Then after letting it sit for an hour cold, while I re-read every section of the Bently DVD again, I discovered that both seals on the metal hose ends were weeping.

Did you guys replace those two little seals when you changed the clutches.
I know the Bently says inspect and replace if showing wear, but both of mine looked just fine. They had been fine right up until I disconnected them.

Just a thought

Many of our clutch kits include a new slave with o-ring.
I always recommend a new o-ring when removing the clutch hose, the old o-ring will loose its shape as its compressed into the hose.

We also recommend filling the slave with brake fluid during the clutch install, this is done to expedite the bleeding process.

Well my Jetta has the Hat or shouldered style seal, instead of an o-ring.
And the new FTE slave cylinder did not have new seals.

I was just pointing it out as a possible issue for the two other members that had issues with the new clutch not releasing properly.

Will a lightweight flywheel help with the rev hang or is that only solved with a tune?

Flywheel won't change it, the issue is the software coding.
The info below is from the Mk5 Self Study Program.

Clutch Position Sensor G476
The Clutch Position Sensor G476 is a Hall effect device that signals the engine control module that the clutch pedal has moved.
This deactivates the cruise control system and briefly reduces fuel to the fuel injectors to prevent engine shudder during the resulting gear change.
For additional information on the accelerator, brake and clutch pedal assembly please refer to
SSP 861403 “The new Jetta Steering and Suspension”.

If I was to use a fwd 02Q 6spd and want to cater for upto 600bhp/550tq what would be the flywheel and clutch choice you'd recommend. (Would prefer slip clutch rather than paddle.) thanks..
