What is the main difference between this Stage 3 clutch and a stock clutch?

The SPEC Stage 3 clutch kit offers increased clamping force from its performance pressure plate and a more durable friction disc. This allows it to handle more torque and horsepower than a factory clutch, making it suitable for modified vehicles or aggressive driving.

Does this clutch kit come with a new flywheel?

This kit includes the performance pressure plate and friction disc. It does not include a new flywheel. It is recommended to inspect your existing flywheel for wear or damage and replace it if necessary during installation.

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

The Stage 3 clutch is ideal for drivers who have modified their 1.8T engine for increased power or who engage in spirited driving. It provides a more robust connection for transferring that extra power to the wheels.
