Clutch Masters 15-18 Volkswagen Golf 1.8T 5-Speed FX300 Clutch Kit w/Steel FW - 325ft/lbs Torque

This is the Clutch Masters FX300 clutch kit specifically for your 2014-2017 Volkswagen Passat with the 1.8T engine and 5-speed manual transmission. If you're looking to upgrade your clutch to handle more power or simply replace a worn-out original, this kit is a solid choice. The FX300 series is designed for street performance, offering a noticeable improvement in holding capacity over stock while maintaining reasonable drivability.

The FX300 clutch disc features a unique sprung hub design that helps absorb driveline shock, making it more comfortable for daily driving than a solid hub setup. It's paired with a steel flywheel, which is a robust and cost-effective option that offers good thermal stability for spirited driving. This kit is rated to hold up to 325 ft/lbs of torque, making it suitable for modified Passats that are seeing increased power output from engine tuning or other modifications. Clutch Masters is known for well-built clutch components, and this kit reflects that reputation with its focus on performance and durability.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a direct replacement for your original clutch assembly. You'll want to ensure your flywheel surface is clean and free of any grease or oil before installation. It's also a good time to inspect your rear main seal and pilot bearing for any signs of leaks or wear, as these are easily accessible with the clutch removed. This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a steel flywheel, providing everything you need for a complete clutch replacement.
