A lot of the MK6 guys are having luck with HS Tuning's new clutch:

Been looking into that one too. It's $1k without a flywheel. I'd need to pick up a Golf R DMF to go with it. The kit is basically an OE TT-RS pressure plate and some version of OE clutch disc. They modify the parts to mount on the mk5 Gti and Mk6 Gti/R.

What were the symptoms? I have a weird clatter with my Southbend Stage 3 clutch disc/ stock DMF setup, at idle in neutral, and it feels like something in the drivetrain drags intermittently as I'm coming to a stop. I'm wondering if my clutch disc might be shitting the bed. Still feels perfectly grabby and holds nicely under throttle.

Old thread but new update. I just ordered a complete kit direct from Sachs for $1260 shipped - pressure plate, disc, DMF, and slave cylinder. It's been a long time coming but I recently decided to hold on to the Gti for a while longer so figured I'd take care of that slipping stock clutch. It's only an issue at WOT and since I don't track/drag it's fine 98% of the time but eventually I'll sell this car so might as well take the hit now and get some use out of it.

Nice. I’ve had this clutch on a stock DMF for about five years and never had the slightest issue. As a precaution, limit how often you sit with the clutch engaged and consider a clutch switch bypass for cold starts, both will help save the thrust washers, which is becoming more common of an issue in the MK6R world.
