Clutch Masters 99-03 Audi A3/00-06 Audi TT/02-05 VW GTI/03-05 VW Jetta 850 Series Aluminum Flywheel

Clutch Masters is well-known for making performance clutch components, and this 850 Series aluminum flywheel is a prime example of their work. If you're looking to improve your vehicle's acceleration and responsiveness, this flywheel is a solid choice. It's designed for a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including the Audi A3, Audi TT, Volkswagen GTI, Volkswagen Jetta, and Volkswagen Golf, among others. Swapping to a lighter flywheel like this one means less rotating mass for the engine to spin up, which directly translates to quicker revs and a more eager feel when you get on the gas.

This particular flywheel is constructed from high-grade aluminum, making it significantly lighter than a stock cast-iron unit. This weight reduction is key to its performance benefits. The aluminum construction also helps dissipate heat more effectively than heavier materials, which can be beneficial during spirited driving. Clutch Masters has engineered this flywheel to be a direct replacement for the factory part, meaning it fits right into place with the appropriate clutch kit. It's designed to work with their 850 Series clutch kits, ensuring a matched system for optimal performance. You'll notice a difference in how quickly your engine builds RPMs, making it feel more lively, especially in stop-and-go traffic or when you need to accelerate quickly.

When installing a new flywheel, it's always a good idea to inspect your clutch components, including the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing, to ensure they are in good condition. Replacing these items at the same time can save you labor down the road and ensure your new flywheel performs at its best. This aluminum flywheel is a worthwhile upgrade for drivers looking for that extra edge in acceleration and a more connected feel to their drivetrain.
