2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R 2.0T MK6 Heavy-Duty Race Clutch Kit with Aluminum Cover – Premium Replacement
$2,703.99
The cover assembly is machined from billet aluminum and is then Type 3 hard anodized. Our billet covers have roughly 25% more tensile strength than the competition’s cast unit. By focusing our ability on machining the trongest cover possible while maintaining minimal weight, we are basically able to eliminate any flex in the cover. Our billet covers see only .003” of flex where as a cast or stamped unit can see as much as .030” of flex. By eliminating this flex in the cover, the driver is able to operate the clutch much more consistently and confidently. All the movement being applied to the diaphragm of the clutch from the throwout bearing is used solely to engage and disengage the clutch and isn’t wasted by the cover flexing first. The strength of our covers also results in greater clamping force over the same amount of area vs. a cast or stamped cover. This means our twin discs are easy to drive and have superior clamping force to make sure all the power your engine is making is being utilized.

The Clutch Masters 12-13 Volkswagen Golf R 2.0T MK6 850 Series Race Clutch with Aluminum Cover is engineered for high-performance and heavy-duty applications, making it an ideal choice for both street and race environments. Crafted from billet aluminum and Type 3 hard anodized, this cover assembly offers approximately 25% more tensile strength than cast or stamped alternatives. Its design focuses on minimizing flex, with only about .003 inches of movement under load compared to the up to .030 inches seen in inferior units. This rigidity ensures that the clutch’s engagement and disengagement are precise and consistent, improving driver confidence and reducing premature wear. The increased clamping force provided by the billet cover ensures maximum power transfer from the engine to the drivetrain, making it suitable for demanding performance scenarios while maintaining a lightweight profile. The clutch features a sprung ceramic disc paired with a fiber tuff rigid disc, supporting reliable operation under high torque loads up to 800 ft/lbs, making it perfect for high-horsepower builds and heavy-duty use. This assembly is designed to withstand rigorous use, offering durability and enhanced performance, especially important for fleet, motorsport, and modified vehicle applications. Proper installation of this clutch requires attention to mechanical linkage and pushrod alignment to ensure the internal diaphragm operates smoothly without binding or excessive wear, a process supported by our shop experience specializing in heavy-duty clutch systems since 1985.
