Clutch Masters 10-15 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L TDI (02Q Trans) FX300 Clutch w/Steel FW - 400ft/lbs Torque

Clutch Masters is well-known for making robust clutch components for a wide range of vehicles, and this FX300 clutch kit is a prime example of their work. If you're looking to replace the clutch in your 2010 or 2011 Audi A3 with the 2.0L TDI engine and the 02Q transmission, this kit is built to handle more power than stock. It's designed to hold up to 400 ft-lbs of torque, making it a solid choice if you've modified your engine or simply want a clutch that can take a beating.

This FX300 kit features a sprung disc with an FX300 friction material, which offers a good balance between holding power and drivability for a performance clutch. It comes complete with a steel flywheel, ensuring a direct replacement for your original unit and providing a solid foundation for the clutch assembly. The sprung hub design in the disc helps to absorb some of the drivetrain shock, contributing to a smoother engagement compared to unsprung designs, especially when paired with a diesel engine's torque characteristics.

When you're installing this clutch, remember that it's a significant job that involves removing the transmission. It's always a good idea to inspect your rear main seal and transmission input shaft seal while everything is apart. This kit is designed as a direct replacement, meaning it should fit right in place of your original clutch components, simplifying the installation process for a mechanic.
