So a bit of back story, I bought a MK1 TT shed as a bit of a project with a slipping clutch & quite bad oil leak.

I took the gearbox off and expected to be met with a completely smooth clutch disc but imo it doesn’t look too bad?

The said leak was coming from the oil return pipe on the turbo which is above the gearbox & on inspection does seem oil could have got into the clutch?

The dual mass has been replaced with a solid flywheel at some point so getting a new clutch isn’t cheap because I’d need to get a flywheel.

What do you think?

Changing gear was fine. It was only when the boost kicked in the clutch would slip. I've also confirmed it's not been remapped.

I think the whole lot would have come as part of a kit but can't be 100%

Thanks for the replies. I will try and pick up a sound dual mass flywheel.
