How long did it take to do and any issues?

4 hours start to finish but would have been 3 hours if we had a clutch allining tool.there was no issues I used the caddy top and bottom gearbox mounts and the caddy drive shafts my van is standard height and I used the original 5 speed cables with the golf mk4 ends.as I said 70 mph at 1900 rpm it's so worth it

£229.50 on ebay for single mass conversion and all bolts.

Don't like the thought of single mass if honest !

alarmfitter · Post by **alarmfitter** » Sun Apr 26, 2015 10:30 pm

Dual mass is better in my opinion a much smoother clutch

I have a single mass in mine now, remapped to 140bhp and its perfect imo.

Just keep an eye on the driveshafts, you might be alright with the van been standard height, but ive heard of lads running lowered caddys on caddy drivehsaft complain of loads of knocking. Thats why its recommended to use mk4 6sp driveshafts with caddy outer CV's

Aside from that 6sp...awesome mod eh
