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

The FX400 clutch is designed for higher performance applications. It features a 6-puck sprung disc that offers a more aggressive engagement and can handle more torque than the factory clutch. You'll likely notice a firmer pedal feel and a more immediate bite when releasing the clutch.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a steel flywheel. It is recommended to also replace the pilot bearing and throw-out bearing during clutch replacement, which are typically sold separately.

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

Clutch Masters generally recommends a break-in period for their performance clutches. This usually involves a series of gentle accelerations and decelerations without hard launches or excessive slipping. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific installation instructions included with the kit for the recommended break-in procedure.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2016 or 2017 Volkswagen Jetta with the 1.4L engine, this Clutch Masters FX400 kit is a solid option. This kit is designed for drivers who want a more direct and responsive clutch feel, especially if you're planning on adding more power or driving the car more aggressively. The FX400 series is known for its ability to handle higher torque loads than stock, making it a popular choice for modified vehicles.

This particular kit features a 6-puck sprung disc, which offers a good balance between aggressive engagement and street drivability. The sprung hub helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a stiffer clutch, making it a bit more comfortable for daily driving compared to an unsprung disc. The steel flywheel included in this kit is a direct replacement for the factory unit, ensuring proper fitment and balance. Clutch Masters uses well-built components throughout their kits, aiming for reliable performance under demanding conditions.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a more performance-oriented setup. You'll likely notice a firmer pedal feel and a more immediate engagement when you release the clutch pedal. It's always a good idea to have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced when installing a new clutch, and this kit conveniently includes a new steel flywheel. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully for the best results and to ensure proper break-in of the new clutch disc.
