What is the torque capacity of this clutch kit?

This Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit is rated to handle up to 500 ft-lbs of torque. This makes it suitable for vehicles with significant engine modifications or those used for performance driving.

What is a 6-puck clutch disc and how does it differ from a standard clutch?

A 6-puck clutch disc uses six distinct friction pads, or 'pucks', instead of a solid organic material. This design offers a larger surface area for engagement and is generally stiffer, leading to a more abrupt engagement but superior holding power for high-torque applications.

Does this clutch kit include all the necessary components for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to also replace the clutch release bearing and pilot bearing during installation, which are typically sold separately.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your performance-oriented Volkswagen or Audi, especially if you've added more power or are planning to, this Clutch Masters FX500 6-Puck Clutch Kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle significantly more torque than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for drivers who push their vehicles hard or have modified their engines. It fits a range of popular models including the Volkswagen GTI, Audi A3, and Volkswagen Jetta, among others.

The FX500 series clutch is known for its ability to manage up to 500 ft-lbs of torque, which is a substantial increase over factory specifications. This is achieved through a well-built 6-puck friction disc that offers a large surface area for engagement, paired with a heavy-duty pressure plate. The 6-puck design provides a more aggressive engagement compared to a traditional organic disc, which can feel a bit grabby at first but offers a direct and strong connection once you get used to it. This makes it ideal for spirited driving and track use where consistent power transfer is crucial. The kit includes the necessary components to replace your worn-out clutch system, ensuring a comprehensive upgrade.

When installing a clutch kit like this, it's important to have the right tools and to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, as proper alignment and torque are critical for performance and longevity. Many installers also recommend replacing the rear main seal and pilot bearing at the same time, as these are easily accessible with the clutch removed. This Clutch Masters kit is a significant upgrade for those seeking enhanced drivetrain performance and durability under demanding conditions.
