Clutch Masters 99-06 Volkswagen Golf 1.9L FX400 Single Disc Flywheel Kit

The Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit uses a single disc design with a sprung hub, which helps absorb some of the drivetrain shock and makes engagement a bit smoother than a solid hub. This kit is built around a 240mm diameter disc, providing a good balance between surface area for holding power and quick engagement. The FX400 series is known for its ability to handle more power than stock, making it a popular choice for drivers looking to improve their vehicle's performance without going to an extreme setup.

Inside this kit, you'll find a solid steel flywheel, which is a durable choice for daily driving and spirited use. It’s designed to work with the included clutch disc and pressure plate, ensuring all components are matched for optimal performance. The pressure plate itself features a higher clamping force than the factory unit, which is key to handling increased engine output. This increased clamping force means the clutch can transfer more torque to the transmission, reducing the chance of slippage under load. The sprung hub design on the clutch disc is a notable detail, as it helps to dampen vibrations and noise that can sometimes come with performance clutch upgrades, offering a more comfortable driving experience.

This kit is a comprehensive solution for upgrading your clutch system. It includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a solid steel flywheel, along with a pilot bearing and alignment tool to make installation as straightforward as possible. When installing a performance clutch like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your clutch fork and slave cylinder for wear, as these are often replaced at the same time to ensure the entire system is in top condition. This setup is designed to be a direct replacement for your original clutch, simplifying the installation process for mechanics and DIYers alike.
