What is the main difference between this Stage 2 clutch and the factory clutch?

This Stage 2 clutch kit is built to handle significantly more torque and horsepower than the stock clutch. It features a higher-performance pressure plate and a friction disc made from a multi-compound material, offering a more robust engagement for modified vehicles.

Does this clutch kit come with a new flywheel?

This SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit includes the pressure plate and friction disc. A new flywheel is not typically included in this kit, so you will need to ensure your existing flywheel is in good condition or have it resurfaced.

What other parts should I consider replacing when installing this clutch kit?

It is highly recommended to inspect and potentially replace the pilot bearing and throw-out bearing when installing a new clutch. These components are critical for clutch operation and are often replaced as a preventative measure during a clutch job.

About this part

Product Details

If you're pushing your 2014-2016 Volkswagen GTI MKVII or Golf R with the 2.0T engine beyond its factory limits, you're likely looking for a clutch that can handle the extra power. This Stage 2 clutch kit from SPEC is built to manage increased torque and horsepower, offering a solid upgrade for modified vehicles. It's designed to provide a more robust engagement than the stock clutch, ensuring your power gets to the wheels reliably.

This kit includes a high-performance pressure plate and a sprung, multi-compound friction disc. The sprung hub design helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a stiffer clutch, making it a bit more manageable for daily driving compared to a solid hub setup. The multi-compound friction material is chosen for its ability to hold more power while still offering a decent lifespan. SPEC uses a well-built pressure plate that applies consistent clamping force, which is crucial for preventing clutch slip under load. This kit is a popular choice for those who have upgraded their turbo, intake, and exhaust systems and are looking for a clutch that won't be the weak link.

When installing this kit, you'll want to ensure your flywheel is in good condition or have it resurfaced to spec. It's also a good time to inspect your pilot bearing and throw-out bearing, as these are often replaced during a clutch job. While this is a Stage 2 kit designed for increased performance, it aims to maintain a comfortable pedal feel for a performance clutch, though it will be firmer than the original. This SPEC clutch kit is a solid option for drivers who have modified their 2.0T VW and need a clutch that can keep up.
