What is the main benefit of the dampened 6-puck ceramic disc?

The 6-puck ceramic disc offers high torque capacity for performance driving. The dampening springs in the disc hub help absorb shock and vibration, making engagement smoother and reducing drivetrain stress compared to an undampened disc.

What other parts should I consider replacing when installing this clutch kit?

It is highly recommended to replace the clutch release bearing and pilot bearing, as they are wear items easily accessible during the clutch installation. Resurfacing or replacing the flywheel is also crucial for proper clutch engagement and longevity.

How does this clutch kit compare to the stock clutch for a 2015 GTI?

The Clutch Masters FX400 kit offers significantly higher torque holding capacity than the stock clutch. It's designed for modified vehicles or drivers who demand more from their drivetrain, providing a firmer engagement and better performance under load.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Clutch Masters FX400 Dampened 6 Puck Ceramic Disc Clutch Kit, specifically designed for the 2015-2017 Volkswagen GTI with the 2.0T engine and 6-speed manual transmission. If you're looking to upgrade your GTI's clutch to handle more power and torque, especially if you've modified your engine or plan to, this kit is a solid choice. It's built to be a direct replacement for your stock clutch but offers significantly more holding capacity.

The FX400 kit features a 6-puck ceramic disc, which is known for its aggressive engagement and ability to handle high torque loads without slipping. The 'dampened' aspect refers to the springs integrated into the disc hub. These springs help absorb some of the shock and vibration that comes with engaging a performance clutch, making it a bit more streetable than a fully undampened disc. This is important for a daily driver like the GTI, as it helps reduce drivetrain shock and makes the clutch feel less abrupt during normal driving conditions. The kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, the 6-puck ceramic disc, and a pilot bearing, all designed to work together for optimal performance.

When installing this clutch kit, it's a good idea to have a new flywheel or have your existing one resurfaced to ensure a flat mating surface. You'll also want to replace your clutch release bearing and potentially the slave cylinder while the transmission is out, as these are wear items that are easily accessible during the clutch job. This kit is a popular option for GTI owners looking to push their car's performance further, offering a noticeable improvement in clutch performance under demanding conditions.
