What is the main benefit of the rigid Kevlar disc in this clutch kit?

The rigid hub design means all the damping is handled by the pressure plate, not the disc itself. This provides a more direct engagement feel and can improve clutch life under demanding conditions due to fewer moving parts in the disc.

Does this clutch kit come with a flywheel?

This kit includes the pressure plate, clutch disc, and release bearing. A flywheel is not included, so you will need to reuse your existing flywheel or purchase one separately. Ensure your flywheel is in good condition or have it resurfaced before installation.

How will the engagement feel differ from my stock clutch?

Due to the rigid disc design and increased clamping force, you may notice a more direct and potentially slightly more abrupt engagement compared to your stock clutch, especially at lower speeds. It's recommended to take some time to adapt to the new feel.

About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX300 clutch kit is built specifically for your 2015-2017 Volkswagen GTI with the 2.0T engine and 6-speed manual transmission. What you get in this kit is the complete package to replace your worn-out clutch: a heavy-duty pressure plate, a rigid Kevlar clutch disc, and a high-quality release bearing. This setup is designed to handle more power and torque than the stock clutch, making it a solid choice if you're looking to upgrade your GTI's drivetrain for spirited driving or track use.

The FX300 series uses a rigid hub design for the Kevlar disc. This means there are no sprung dampers in the disc itself; all the damping is handled by the pressure plate. This design offers a more direct engagement feel and can improve clutch life under demanding conditions because there are fewer moving parts in the disc to wear out. Kevlar is known for its strength and heat resistance, making it a good material for a clutch disc that needs to hold up to abuse. The heavy-duty pressure plate provides increased clamping force, ensuring the clutch disc stays firmly engaged even when you're putting down serious power.

When installing this kit, you'll want to make sure your flywheel is in good condition. If it shows signs of glazing or excessive wear, it's a good idea to have it resurfaced or replaced. Since this is a rigid disc, you might notice a slightly more abrupt engagement compared to a sprung disc, especially at lower speeds. Take some time to get used to the feel, and you'll appreciate the improved connection to your engine.
