About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX300 clutch kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing, giving you the essential components to replace your worn-out clutch system. It’s built 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 need a reliable replacement for a performance-oriented setup, this kit is a solid option.

The FX300 disc features a unique sprung hub design, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch, making it a bit more streetable than some other high-performance options. It’s rated to hold up to 325 ft/lbs of torque, making it suitable for modified vehicles or those that see spirited driving. The pressure plate offers a strong clamping force to ensure positive engagement, and the included release bearing is designed for smooth operation.

When installing this kit, it's always a good idea to resurface or replace your flywheel to ensure optimal clutch performance and longevity. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's specific break-in procedure after installation to properly seat the new clutch components.
