2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R 2.0T MK6 Street Clutch Kit with Steel Flywheel – Heavy-Duty Automotive Clutch Assembly by Clutch Masters Part 17820-TD8S-SH

Our high-performance clutch assembly is precision-machined from billet aluminum and hard anodized for maximum durability and corrosion resistance. Designed for demanding automotive applications, this clutch kit provides approximately 25% greater tensile strength compared to traditional cast units, ensuring reliable operation under heavy loads. Its minimal flex of just .003 inches allows the clutch to engage and disengage smoothly, translating to more precise pedal feel and consistent power transfer. The robust construction ensures higher clamping force over the same contact area, making it ideal for high-performance street and race use. This clutch setup is especially suitable for enthusiasts seeking a reliable upgrade capable of handling up to 600 ft/lbs of torque in vehicles like the Volkswagen Golf R, with a focus on maintaining drivability and power efficiency.
The kit includes a sprung ceramic disc paired with a fiber tuff rigid disc, offering excellent heat resistance and longevity for spirited driving. The direct connection to the steel flywheel ensures a solid, responsive feel, while the engineered design minimizes pedal effort and maximizes power transfer. Whether for daily driving or competitive racing, this clutch assembly is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern turbocharged engines, providing a perfect balance of strength, durability, and smooth operation.
Installation requires attention to proper alignment and mechanical linkage checks. We recommend verifying the clutch system’s pushrod travel and ensuring a straight, unbinding travel path to prevent premature wear or binding issues. Our shop experience specializing in heavy-duty brakes and clutches since 1985 emphasizes meticulous installation practices to maximize component lifespan and performance.
