What is a rigid disc clutch and how does it differ from a sprung disc?

A rigid disc clutch, like the one in this kit, does not have a sprung hub. This means the disc is solid and offers a more direct connection between the engine and transmission. Sprung disc clutches have springs in the hub to absorb some of the engagement shock, which can lead to a smoother, though sometimes less direct, feel.

Does this clutch kit include a flywheel?

This Clutch Masters FX250 kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. A flywheel is not typically included in this type of clutch kit. You will likely need to resurface your existing flywheel or purchase a new one separately to ensure proper clutch operation.

What other parts are typically needed when replacing a clutch?

When replacing a clutch, it's highly recommended to also replace the release bearing and pilot bearing. Inspecting and potentially replacing the rear main seal and flywheel are also common practices during a clutch job to ensure longevity and prevent future issues.

About this part

Product Details

When you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R with the 2.0T MK6 engine and 6-speed manual transmission, this Clutch Masters FX250 Rigid Disc Clutch Kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle up to 350 ft-lbs of torque, offering a notable increase over the stock clutch's capacity. It's a well-built assembly that aims to provide reliable engagement and power transfer for drivers who push their vehicles a bit harder.

Inside this kit, you'll find the essential components needed for a clutch replacement. The FX250 series features a rigid disc, which means it doesn't have any sprung hubs. This design choice contributes to a more direct feel when engaging the clutch. The pressure plate is engineered for increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch disc stays firmly engaged even under higher torque loads. Clutch Masters is known for their robust clutch assemblies, and this FX250 kit continues that tradition with durable materials and a focus on performance. When installing, remember that a rigid disc clutch can sometimes feel a bit more abrupt than a sprung disc, especially at lower speeds, so it's something to be aware of during the break-in period.

This kit is a good choice if you're planning on modifications that increase engine power or if you simply want a clutch that can better withstand the demands of spirited driving. It's important to ensure you have all the necessary supporting components for a clutch job, such as a new pilot bearing, release bearing, and potentially a flywheel resurfacing or replacement, as these are not always included in a clutch kit. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for specific procedures and torque specifications to ensure a proper and safe installation.
