Clutch Masters 10-14 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T MK6 850 Series Race Clutch Kit - 800ft/lbs Torque

Clutch Masters is well-known for building robust clutch systems designed for high-performance applications. This 850 Series Race Clutch Kit is a prime example, engineered to handle serious power. If you're pushing your 2.0T engine in your Volkswagen GTI, Jetta, or Audi A3 beyond stock limits, this kit is built to keep up. It's designed to manage up to 800 ft-lbs of torque, making it a solid choice for modified vehicles that see frequent track use or spirited driving.

This kit includes a heavy-duty pressure plate and a high-performance clutch disc. The disc features a sprung hub design, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup, offering a slightly more comfortable engagement than a solid hub disc. The pressure plate is designed for a firm clamping force to ensure positive engagement and prevent clutch slip under high load. While this is a race-oriented kit, Clutch Masters aims to provide a manageable pedal feel for its power handling capabilities, though it will be firmer than a stock clutch.

When installing a race clutch kit like this, it's important to have all necessary supporting components ready. This includes a new flywheel (often a single-mass flywheel is recommended for this type of application to better handle the torque), pilot bearing, and release bearing. Proper break-in procedures are also crucial for the longevity and performance of the clutch disc and pressure plate surfaces. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the specific break-in period and procedure to ensure optimal performance and durability.
