What is the advantage of a dual friction clutch disc?

A dual friction clutch disc combines two different friction materials. Typically, one side uses an organic lining for smooth, comfortable engagement similar to a stock clutch, while the other side uses a more aggressive material to handle higher torque loads and improve durability under stress.

Does this kit include a flywheel?

This specific kit, the Clutch Masters 17400-HD0F-R, is a clutch disc and pressure plate kit. It is designed to work with your vehicle's original flywheel. If your flywheel is worn or damaged, it will need to be resurfaced or replaced separately.

What is the recommended break-in procedure for this clutch?

Clutch Masters recommends a specific break-in procedure for their FX250 clutches to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Generally, this involves a period of gentle driving with light acceleration and avoiding hard launches or aggressive shifting for the first 500 miles. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for the exact break-in steps.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2015-2017 Volkswagen GTI with the 2.0T MK7 engine and 6-speed manual transmission, this Clutch Masters FX250 kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts who have modified their cars or plan to. The dual friction design means you get the best of both worlds: an organic lining on one side for smooth engagement and a sprung rigid disc on the other for durability and a more direct feel.

The FX250 series clutch is built with a focus on drivability while offering a significant increase in torque capacity. This particular kit includes a rigid, sprung disc, which helps to dampen vibrations and noise, contributing to a more comfortable driving experience compared to some other performance clutch setups. The organic lining on one side of the disc provides a familiar pedal feel and smooth engagement from a stop, while the other side is designed for higher torque transfer. This combination aims to offer a noticeable improvement in clutch performance without making the car difficult to drive in everyday situations.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's important to have all the necessary components ready. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your factory clutch assembly, but it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding torque specifications and break-in procedures. A proper break-in period is crucial for ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of the new clutch materials.
