What is the torque capacity of this clutch kit?

This Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit is rated to handle up to 500 ft-lbs of torque. This makes it suitable for vehicles with significantly increased engine power over stock.

What is the difference between an 8-puck disc and a stock clutch disc?

An 8-puck clutch disc, like the one in this kit, offers a more aggressive and direct engagement compared to a stock sprung disc. This provides a firmer pedal feel and a more immediate transfer of power.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a steel flywheel. It is designed as a replacement for your factory clutch assembly, but always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for a complete installation guide and any additional recommended parts.

About this part

Product Details

Clutch Masters is well-known for making strong clutch components that can handle more power than stock. This FX400 clutch kit is built for your 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R with the 2.0T engine, specifically designed to handle up to 500 ft-lbs of torque. If you're pushing more power through your drivetrain, this kit is a solid option to ensure your clutch can keep up.

The FX400 series uses an 8-puck disc, which is designed for a more aggressive engagement compared to a sprung disc. This means you'll feel a more direct connection between the engine and the transmission, which is great for performance driving. The kit includes a steel flywheel, which is a durable choice that offers a good balance of weight and strength for this application. This setup is meant to be a direct replacement for your factory clutch, but it's important to note that the engagement will be firmer and potentially more abrupt than the original clutch.

When installing this clutch kit, it's a good idea to have a flywheel resurfacing tool or a new flywheel ready, though this kit comes with a steel flywheel. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the proper procedure, including any specific break-in requirements. This kit is a significant upgrade for Golf R owners looking to reliably transfer increased engine power to the wheels.
