What is the break-in procedure for this Clutch Masters clutch kit?

Clutch Masters recommends a specific break-in procedure for their 850 Series clutch kits. Typically, this involves a period of gentle driving with minimal shifting and avoiding hard acceleration or slipping the clutch for the first 500 miles. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the exact break-in process.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a steel flywheel. It is recommended to also replace the pilot bearing and rear main seal during clutch installation, as these are often not included in the kit but are critical wear items.

How does the sprung hub design affect daily driving?

The sprung hub design in the clutch disc helps to dampen vibrations and shock loads, which can lead to a smoother and more comfortable engagement during everyday driving compared to a rigid hub clutch. This makes it a more street-friendly option for higher-performance applications.

About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters 850 Series Street Clutch Kit is built with a sprung hub design, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with aggressive driving, making it a solid option for your 2000-2006 Audi TT 1.8T MK1. This kit is designed to handle up to 600 ft-lbs of torque, offering a significant upgrade over the stock clutch's capacity. It comes complete with a steel flywheel, ensuring a robust and durable pairing for the clutch disc and pressure plate.

This particular clutch is a popular choice for TT owners looking to increase their vehicle's power output or simply replace a worn-out original. The sprung hub design is key here; it allows for a more comfortable engagement on the street compared to a rigid hub, while still providing the clamping force needed for higher torque applications. The steel flywheel included in this kit is a well-built component that mates directly with the clutch assembly, providing a solid foundation for power transfer. Clutch Masters is known for making well-built clutch components, and this 850 Series kit reflects that reputation.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures to ensure proper break-in and longevity. This kit is a comprehensive solution for those seeking improved clutch performance and durability for their modified or high-performance Audi TT. It's a substantial upgrade that addresses the needs of drivers who push their vehicles beyond stock capabilities.
