There is also a bit more chatter with the clutch out, but not too bad. Drivability is just as easy as the dual mass flywheel. The car does not stall easier with the LWFW. All in all great mod.

Is noise in 6th due to LWFW or exhaust? I was going to do the RS 350 kit but keep my stock sport exhaust.

I can live with the rougher spots at idle due to LWFW but would like to keep the smooth running in 6th.

teoh2005 is infamous around these parts
Noise is from the LWFW, it doesnt prevent tranmissions noises/vibrations as well as the stock dual mass. Only really noticed if you are "lugging" the engine. If you are cruising on the freeway and try to accelerate in 6th, you WILL hear the noise from the LWFW. Drop down to 3rd/4th and its a non-issue.

+1 Kevin and really glad you like it. For some reason the LWF thing is a bit of a secret but I guess we're an exclusive bunch then eh?

Here's a video to show you guys the difference:
