About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the clutch in your 1998-2006 Volkswagen Beetle, especially if you've noticed slipping or a grabby pedal, this Clutch Masters FX200 Single Disc Flywheel Kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for those who have modified their 1.9L TDI engine or simply want a more robust clutch for daily driving.

The FX200 series clutch is a single-disc setup that offers a good balance between holding power and drivability. It uses a sprung hub disc, which helps to absorb some of the drivetrain shock and vibration, leading to a smoother engagement than some other performance clutches. The kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, a sprung hub disc, and a lightweight flywheel. The flywheel is crucial because it reduces rotational mass, allowing your engine to rev up and down more quickly, which can make the car feel more responsive. This particular kit is designed to fit right into your Beetle without major modifications, assuming you're replacing an existing clutch assembly.

When you're installing a new clutch, it's always a good idea to inspect your rear main seal and pilot bearing for any signs of wear. Replacing these while the transmission is out can save you a lot of labor down the road. This kit from Clutch Masters is a well-built assembly that should give you reliable performance for many miles to come.
