Well thankfully I have sourced a release bearing already and the clutch is fairly recent (I'll double check the paperwork though and if necessary replace that too). Although I must say I'm relieved it's only that and not something more serious - at least I'll have my car back fairly shortly and with (hopefully) relatively little hassle.
Cheers fellas.

thats not a sign of a release bearing going as your foot would have been off the clutch and on the gas!
to me it sounds like your clutch plate centre is about to break up, either that or theres a prob with the g'box
Any update on that?Trondelond said:I'll (hopefully) show you the difference in a couple of weeks, went from OE elbow/2.5" exhaust and ARC TMIC to 3" AM Performance turboback exhaust and a Forge FMIC recently. I figured I'd take the car on the rollers soon, just to check everything is in order.
Stay peeled for updates on my project thread, in between all the useless posts.

How do you figure? Unfortunately the results are on two different dynos, but all I can make of it is marginally earlier spool-up.fubar andy said:

I just discovered something else the Rasheen has in common with the GtiR. Similar access to the starter motor! Grrrr!
All manufacturers in the automotive industry have used heat treatment (case hardening) on various hardwearing parts for decades.
99% of the internal contents in your gearbox will already be heat treated although saying that the methods used by the various manufacturers are all the same and the quality is pretty inconsistent.
Anyway it’s not so much the gears as the gearbox housing in our case so although the oem gears can obviously be improved (Quiafe e.t.c.) and that does seem to help a lot the gearbox housing design is the weak link in the chain.

i spoke to quaiffe about them making a better gearbox case, this is what the said.
Anything is possible Dan, but it would be a very expensive project. It is not some thing we would undertake without a development fund from yourself. Please get back to me if it is of interest but I would expect a minimum cost of £25 000 just to get the drawings and moulds done.

is that better ?
I know it’s been talked about before, but has anyone actually had their casing cryo treated yet and was their any feedback (whether its was standard gears or aftermarket)?stevepudney said:
