What is the main difference between this FX400 clutch and a stock clutch?

The Clutch Masters FX400 features a 6-puck rigid disc, which provides a more direct and immediate engagement compared to the typically sprung and multi-plate design of a stock clutch. This results in a firmer pedal feel and is rated to handle significantly more torque, up to 500 ft-lbs.

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

Clutch Masters recommends a break-in period for their performance clutches. Typically, this involves a series of gentle accelerations and decelerations without hard launches or excessive slipping for the first 500 miles. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific installation instructions included with the kit for the exact procedure.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Clutch Masters FX400 6-puck clutch kit, designed for performance applications and specifically for vehicles like the Volkswagen GTI, Audi A3, and Volkswagen Jetta. If you're looking to upgrade your clutch to handle more power or simply want a more robust setup for spirited driving, this kit is a solid choice. It's built to manage up to 500 ft-lbs of torque, making it suitable for modified vehicles or those that see frequent hard use.

The FX400 kit features a 6-puck rigid disc, which offers a more direct engagement compared to a sprung disc. This means you'll feel a firmer clutch pedal and a more immediate power transfer to the drivetrain. The rigid disc, combined with the steel flywheel included in this kit, provides a strong and durable package. The steel flywheel is a practical choice, offering good thermal capacity and a solid surface for the clutch disc to engage with, and it's designed to be a direct replacement for the factory unit, simplifying installation. This kit is a popular option for enthusiasts looking to significantly increase their vehicle's torque handling capability.

Included in this kit is the clutch disc, a pressure plate, a release bearing, and an alignment tool, along with the steel flywheel. Having the flywheel included means you don't need to source that separately, and it's balanced to work with the clutch assembly. When installing a clutch like this, especially a rigid disc, expect a firmer pedal feel and a less forgiving engagement point than stock. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully to ensure proper break-in and long service life. This kit is a significant upgrade for anyone pushing their vehicle's performance limits.
