What components are included in this Clutch Masters FX400 kit?

This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. It is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch components, excluding the flywheel.

Will this clutch kit work with my stock flywheel?

This kit does not come with a flywheel, so you will need to reuse your original flywheel or purchase a compatible one separately. It's recommended to inspect your flywheel for wear and resurface or replace it during clutch installation for optimal performance.

How does the 6-puck sprung ceramic disc differ from a standard clutch disc?

The 6-puck ceramic disc offers higher friction and better heat dissipation for increased torque capacity, making it suitable for modified vehicles or spirited driving. The sprung hub helps dampen vibrations and shock during engagement, providing a smoother feel than a rigid hub design.

About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. It's designed for your 1999-2005 Volkswagen Beetle, 2001-2002 Audi TT, 2000-2006 Volkswagen Golf, or 2000-2005 Volkswagen Jetta with the 1.8L 5-speed engine. This kit is a solid option if you're looking to handle more power than the stock clutch can manage, especially if you've made modifications or plan to push your vehicle harder.

The FX400 series uses a 6-puck sprung ceramic disc. The ceramic material offers excellent friction and heat resistance, making it suitable for applications that see frequent engagement or higher torque loads. The 6-puck design means there's less surface area contact than a full-faced disc, which helps with quicker engagement and a more direct feel. The sprung hub on the disc helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup, offering a bit more comfort for daily driving compared to a rigid hub design. This kit is designed to hold more torque than stock, making it a popular choice for modified vehicles or those that are driven spiritedly.

It's important to note that this kit does not include a flywheel. You will need to reuse your existing flywheel or purchase a compatible one separately. When installing a new clutch, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage, and resurfacing or replacing it is often recommended to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding your vehicle.
