Clutch Masters 15-18 Volkswagen Golf 1.8T 5-Speed FX250 Clutch Kit w/Steel FW - 275ft/lbs Torque

This is the Clutch Masters FX250 clutch kit, specifically designed for the 2014-2017 Volkswagen Passat with the 1.8T engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. If you're looking to upgrade your clutch to handle more power or simply replace a worn-out unit with something more robust, this kit is a solid choice. It's built to manage up to 275 ft/lbs of torque, making it suitable for modified vehicles or those that see spirited driving.

The FX250 kit features a performance-sprung, multi-plate disc that offers a good balance between holding power and drivability. It includes a solid steel flywheel, which is a durable option that doesn't require break-in like some other materials. Clutch Masters is known for well-built clutch components, and this kit reflects that reputation. The multi-plate design helps dissipate heat effectively, which is crucial for preventing clutch fade during hard use. This kit is designed to fit right, simplifying the installation process for a mechanic.

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 without hard acceleration or prolonged slipping to allow the clutch plates to properly seat. This attention to detail will help ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your new clutch.
