What is the main advantage of the 6-puck disc in this clutch kit?

The 6-puck disc offers a larger surface area for engagement compared to a traditional organic disc, which significantly increases its torque holding capacity. The sprung hub design also helps to dampen vibrations and make engagement smoother than a solid-hub puck clutch.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a new steel flywheel. It is recommended to also inspect and potentially replace the pilot bearing and release bearing, as these are not always included but are crucial for proper clutch function.

How does the steel flywheel compare to other options?

A steel flywheel is a strong and durable option that is often more cost-effective than lighter materials like aluminum. It provides a solid mating surface for the clutch disc and is well-suited for high-torque applications like this FX400 kit.

About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX400 6-puck clutch kit is built around a sprung 6-puck disc, which offers a good balance between holding power and street drivability for your 2.0T MK6 Volkswagen Golf R. This kit is designed to handle up to 500 ft-lbs of torque at the flywheel, making it a solid choice for modified vehicles or those looking for a more robust clutch setup.

This FX400 kit features a steel flywheel, which is a durable and cost-effective option that bolts directly to your existing crankshaft. The sprung hub design of the 6-puck disc helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration typically associated with puck-style clutches, leading to a more comfortable engagement than a solid-hub alternative. Clutch Masters is known for their well-built clutch components, and this kit continues that tradition with robust materials and precise manufacturing.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to resurface or replace your flywheel if it shows signs of wear or heat spots, though this kit includes a new steel flywheel. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and free of grease before assembly. It's also a good time to inspect your pilot bearing and release bearing for wear, as these are critical components for smooth clutch operation. This kit is a significant upgrade for your Golf R's drivetrain, offering improved torque capacity and a more direct feel.
