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

Clutch Masters typically recommends a break-in period for their street clutch kits. This usually involves driving gently for a set mileage, avoiding hard acceleration or slipping the clutch. Refer to the manufacturer's included instructions for the specific break-in procedure.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and an aluminum flywheel. It is recommended to also replace the pilot bearing and throw-out bearing during clutch replacement, which may need to be purchased separately.

How does the aluminum flywheel affect performance?

The aluminum flywheel is lighter than a stock steel flywheel, which reduces rotational mass. This can lead to quicker engine response and slightly improved acceleration. It also helps dissipate heat more effectively.

About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters 850 Series Street Clutch Kit features an aluminum flywheel, a key component for reducing rotational mass. This kit is built to handle up to 600 ft-lbs of torque, making it a solid choice for your Volkswagen GTI, Jetta, or Passat, especially if you've modified your engine or plan to push its limits. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your factory clutch, simplifying the installation process for mechanics familiar with these vehicles.

The 850 Series clutch is Clutch Masters' popular offering for street performance. It uses a sprung center hub design in the clutch disc, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a higher-torque clutch setup. This means you get improved holding power without the harshness you might expect, making it comfortable enough for daily driving while still being ready for spirited runs. The aluminum flywheel included in this kit not only helps with weight reduction but also dissipates heat effectively, contributing to the overall longevity of the clutch system.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure all mating surfaces are clean and that you follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure. This typically involves a period of gentle driving to allow the clutch disc and flywheel to properly seat. This kit is designed to fit a range of Volkswagen models, including the GTI, Jetta, and Beetle, offering a significant upgrade for drivers looking for more robust clutch performance.
