About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit features a 6-puck friction disc made with a unique ceramic-metallic compound that offers a very strong engagement, perfect for performance applications where you need a solid connection. This kit is designed for the 2005-2010 Volkswagen Jetta, as well as the Beetle, Golf, and Rabbit models from various years, ensuring a direct fit for these specific vehicles.

This FX500 kit includes a steel flywheel, which is a solid choice for drivers who want a durable and reliable component that can handle the demands of spirited driving and occasional track use. The 6-puck design of the disc means there's less surface area for engagement compared to a full disc, leading to a more abrupt and positive clutch engagement. This can be a significant improvement for drivers looking for a more direct feel and quicker shifts, especially when paired with a performance engine setup. The kit is built to handle higher torque loads than a stock clutch, making it a popular choice for those modifying their vehicles.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, especially regarding the break-in procedure for the new friction material. This typically involves a period of gentle driving to allow the clutch surfaces to properly mate. This kit is a comprehensive solution for upgrading your drivetrain's performance and reliability.
