What is the torque capacity of this Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit?

This FX500 clutch kit is rated to handle up to 415 ft-lbs of torque at the crankshaft. This makes it suitable for vehicles with significant power upgrades.

Does this clutch kit include a flywheel?

Yes, this kit comes complete with a new steel flywheel. This ensures you have a matched component for the clutch disc and simplifies the installation process.

What is the engagement like with a 6-puck clutch disc?

A 6-puck clutch disc typically has a more abrupt and direct engagement compared to a stock organic clutch. The sprung design in this kit helps to mitigate some of that harshness and reduce drivetrain shock.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2014-2017 Volkswagen Passat, especially if you've added some power or plan to, the Clutch Masters FX500 kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to handle significantly more torque than the stock clutch, making it a popular option for enthusiasts who push their cars a bit harder or are building more power. The FX500 series uses a 6-puck disc, which offers a more aggressive engagement compared to a multi-plate or organic disc, but it's still manageable for daily driving if you're used to performance clutches.

This particular kit includes a sprung 6-puck disc, which helps to dampen some of the harshness that can come with a solid puck design, offering a slightly more comfortable feel and reducing drivetrain shock. The steel flywheel included in this kit is a direct replacement for the factory unit, simplifying installation. Clutch Masters is known for making well-built clutch components, and this FX500 kit is rated to hold up to 415 ft-lbs of torque at the crankshaft. This means it can reliably handle a good amount of power increase, whether from tuning or bolt-on modifications.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any damage and consider replacing rear main seals or pilot bearings while the transmission is out. This kit is designed as a complete replacement for your original clutch system, ensuring all the necessary components for a proper installation are included.
