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 modified vehicles that produce more power than stock.

What is the difference between an 8-puck dampened disc and a full disc?

An 8-puck disc has less surface area contact, which aids in quicker engagement and higher torque capacity. The dampening springs help absorb drivetrain shock and vibration, providing a more comfortable pedal feel for street use compared to an unsprung disc.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This is a clutch kit, which typically includes the pressure plate, clutch disc, and release bearing. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of included parts and any additional components or tools that may be required for proper installation, such as a flywheel or alignment tool.

About this part

Product Details

Clutch Masters is well-known for making strong clutch components for performance applications. This FX400 kit is built for your 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R with the 2.0T engine, offering a significant upgrade for drivers looking to handle more power. It’s designed to hold up to 500 ft-lbs of torque, making it a solid choice if you’ve modified your car or plan to.

This particular kit features an 8-puck dampened disc. The 8-puck design means there's less surface area contact than a full disc, which helps with engagement speed and allows it to handle higher torque loads without slipping. The dampening springs in the disc are crucial for absorbing shock and vibration, helping to reduce drivetrain stress and provide a more manageable pedal feel compared to a solid unsprung disc. This makes it a more street-friendly option for a performance clutch.

When you're installing a clutch kit like this, it's important to have all the necessary components. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your stock clutch assembly, but always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding the process, including any required alignment tools or resurfacing recommendations for the flywheel. Proper installation is key to ensuring the longevity and performance of your new clutch.
