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

Clutch Masters recommends a specific break-in procedure for their performance clutch kits. Typically, this involves driving gently for a set mileage, avoiding hard acceleration or slipping the clutch. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the exact procedure.

Does this clutch kit include a pilot bearing and release bearing?

This Clutch Masters 850 Series Race Clutch Kit includes the necessary components for installation, which generally includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a lightweight aluminum flywheel. It is recommended to check the detailed 'What's Included' list or contact us to confirm if pilot and release bearings are part of this specific kit.

How does the sprung hub design benefit my vehicle?

The sprung hub design on the clutch disc helps to dampen torsional vibrations and shock loads transmitted from the engine to the drivetrain. This can lead to a smoother engagement and potentially reduce stress on other drivetrain components, especially in high-torque applications.

About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters 850 Series Race Clutch Kit features a sprung hub design for the clutch disc, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with aggressive driving and higher torque applications. It’s built to handle up to 800 ft-lbs of torque, making it a solid choice for modified Volkswagen Golf R models from 2012 to 2013 with the 2.0T engine.

The kit includes a lightweight aluminum flywheel, which reduces rotational mass. This can lead to quicker engine response and a slight improvement in acceleration. The clutch disc itself uses a high-performance friction material designed for sustained engagement under demanding conditions. The sprung hub design is a notable feature for a race clutch, offering a bit more comfort and drivetrain protection than a rigid hub setup, especially when paired with the aluminum flywheel.

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 new friction materials to properly bed in. This kit is intended for serious performance use, and while it offers improved torque capacity, it's designed to work with the specific drivetrain of your MK6 Golf R.
