What is the torque capacity of this Clutch Masters FX250 clutch?

The Clutch Masters FX250 clutch kit is designed to handle up to 350 ft/lbs of torque. This makes it suitable for modified vehicles that produce more power than stock.

What is the difference between a rigid disc and a sprung disc clutch?

A rigid disc clutch, like the one in this FX250 kit, has a solid hub that connects directly to the transmission input shaft. This offers a more immediate engagement feel. A sprung disc clutch has a hub with springs that absorb some of the shock, often resulting in a smoother engagement.

What other parts are typically needed when installing a new clutch kit?

When replacing your clutch, it's recommended to also replace the pilot bearing and release bearing. You may also need a new flywheel or have your existing flywheel resurfaced. Always consult the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of recommended parts.

About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX250 clutch kit is built with a rigid disc, a design choice that offers a more direct engagement feel compared to a sprung hub. This kit is specifically for the 2015 and 2016 Volkswagen Golf R models equipped with the 2.0T engine and the 6-speed manual transmission. It's a well-built option for those looking to upgrade their clutch's holding capacity.

This FX250 kit is rated to handle up to 350 ft/lbs of torque, making it a solid choice if you've added performance modifications that increase power output. The rigid disc design means you'll feel a more immediate connection between the engine and the drivetrain when you engage the clutch pedal. While it offers improved performance, it's worth noting that a rigid disc clutch can sometimes feel a bit more abrupt in stop-and-go traffic compared to a stock clutch with a sprung hub, but many enthusiasts find the trade-off for improved engagement and durability worthwhile.

Included in this kit is the clutch disc and pressure plate assembly. For a complete installation, you'll want to ensure you have a new pilot bearing, release bearing, and potentially a new flywheel or resurfaced flywheel, as these are typically not part of the clutch kit itself. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate guidance on what else might be needed and the proper procedure.
