What kind of driving is this Stage 5 clutch kit best suited for?

This Stage 5 clutch kit is designed for extreme performance applications. It's ideal for heavily modified vehicles, track use, or street cars that have undergone significant engine upgrades like turbocharging or engine swaps and require a clutch capable of handling substantially increased horsepower and torque.

Will this clutch kit have a heavier pedal feel than my stock clutch?

Yes, you can expect a firmer pedal feel and a more abrupt engagement with this Stage 5 clutch kit. This is typical for high-performance clutches designed to manage high levels of torque and power transfer efficiently.

Does this clutch kit include a new flywheel?

This product listing is for the SPEC Stage 5 clutch kit, which includes the pressure plate and multi-plate friction disc assembly. A new flywheel is not typically included in clutch kits unless specified. It is recommended to inspect your current flywheel for wear and consider replacement if necessary for optimal clutch performance.

About this part

Product Details

This SPEC Stage 5 clutch kit is built around a sprung, multi-plate design, offering a significant increase in torque capacity for your 1987-1994 Volkswagen Golf or Jetta. The sprung hub helps absorb some of the shock from engagement, which is notable given the aggressive nature of a Stage 5 setup. This kit is engineered for vehicles that have undergone substantial modifications, such as turbocharging or engine swaps, and require a clutch that can reliably handle considerably more power than stock.

The Stage 5 designation means you're getting a clutch package designed for extreme performance. It typically includes a high-performance pressure plate and a multi-plate friction disc assembly, often featuring a carbon-based material for its exceptional friction properties and heat resistance. This combination allows the clutch to grip firmly and transfer power efficiently even under demanding conditions, making it suitable for track use or heavily modified street cars. The sprung design of the hub is a practical consideration, helping to mitigate drivetrain shock that can occur with such a high-grip clutch.

When installing a high-performance clutch like this Stage 5 kit, it's important to be prepared for a firmer pedal feel and a more abrupt engagement compared to a stock clutch. This is normal for a clutch designed to handle high horsepower and torque. Ensure your flywheel is in good condition, or consider replacing it if it shows signs of wear, as a proper surface is crucial for clutch performance and longevity. This kit is a solid option for enthusiasts looking to maximize their vehicle's drivetrain capability.
