About this part

Product Details

This is the Clutch Masters FX300 Dampened Kevlar Disc Clutch Kit, specifically designed for your 2015-2017 Volkswagen GTI with the 2.0T engine and 6-speed manual transmission. If you're looking to upgrade your clutch for more spirited driving or to handle increased power, this kit offers a solid step up from the stock setup. It's built to handle more torque while maintaining a manageable pedal feel for daily driving.

The FX300 kit features a unique sprung hub design with a dampened Kevlar disc. Kevlar is known for its strength and smooth engagement, and the dampening in the hub helps absorb vibrations and reduce drivetrain shock, making it a more comfortable option for street use compared to some other performance clutches. The kit includes a high-performance pressure plate that offers increased clamping force, ensuring positive engagement and preventing clutch slip under load. This well-built clutch is a popular choice for GTI owners who want a noticeable improvement in clutch performance without sacrificing too much daily drivability.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to resurface or replace your flywheel to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your factory clutch, but it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications. You'll likely want to replace your rear main seal and pilot bearing while the transmission is out, as these are common maintenance items that are easily addressed during a clutch job.
