What is the torque capacity of this clutch kit?

This Clutch Masters FX100 clutch kit is rated to handle up to 215 ft/lbs of engine torque. This makes it suitable for Passat models with the 1.8T engine that may experience increased stress from spirited driving or towing.

What components are included in this clutch kit?

This kit comes complete with a heavy-duty pressure plate, a sprung organic clutch disc, a steel flywheel, and a release bearing. It's designed to be a comprehensive replacement for your existing clutch and flywheel assembly.
