Clutch Masters 05-09 VW Golf 2.0 TDI 6-speed - FX400 clutch pack only

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2010 or 2011 Audi A3 with the 2.0 TDI engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, this Clutch Masters FX400 clutch pack is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle more power and torque than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for those who have modified their engine or plan to. It's a direct replacement for your factory clutch disc and pressure plate, but it's built to a higher standard to manage increased demands.

The FX400 series clutch is known for its ability to hold significant torque, often double that of a stock clutch, thanks to its sprung, multi-plate design. This means you get a more robust engagement that can stand up to aggressive driving and higher horsepower. The multi-plate setup also helps to dissipate heat more effectively, which is crucial for preventing clutch fade during spirited driving or when towing. While it's a performance-oriented clutch, Clutch Masters has worked to maintain a relatively comfortable pedal feel, though it will be firmer than stock. This pack includes the clutch disc and pressure plate; you'll need to reuse your existing flywheel or purchase a compatible one separately.

When installing this clutch pack, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition. If it shows signs of wear, glazing, or heat spots, it's best to have it resurfaced or replaced to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. This is a component-level upgrade, meaning it's just the clutch pack itself. You'll want to make sure you have all the necessary supporting components, like a pilot bearing and release bearing, which are often sold separately or can be reused if they are in excellent condition.
