This
is a mildly hopped up German made LUK brand clutch kit with matching
brand new Dual Mass Flywheel for factory super smoothness (DMF). This
kit was specifically designed by LUK for the 1.9L TDI. As you may have
heard, the LUK dual mass clutches from the 1998 and 1999 MK4 TDI were
known as the "Good ones" amongst in-the-know TDI drivers. The LUK DMF
flywheels have been very durable as opposed to the Sachs DMF that came
in the 2000 and later TDI cars. This LUK clutch kit even has some
improvements over the factory LUK clutch.
Features:
* Clutch and flywheel are factory pre assembled and ready to bolt on as-is, a real time saver!
* Clamp load of pressure plate has been increased conservatively by 5% over the OE version
* Clutch disc hub is the"floating" type to eliminate possibility of misalignment with input shaft of transmission
* Friction material is OE type but the increased disc size means it has greater resistance to slipping
* Maintains stock smoothness, quietness and easy
going stock pedal feel but has greater holding power. This is
the smoothest and quietest replacement for failing TDI clutches!
* Will not wear out crank shaft thrust bearings like
the new trendy "My clutch is bigger than your clutch" clutch kits that
are popping up everywhere. (Remember, the bigger the clamp load, the
more wear there will be on your crank shaft thrust bearings. A massive
overkill clutch will simply kill your thrust bearings.)
* This clutch is rated for 270 foot
pounds of torque. This will cover any stock TDI or any modified car
with a power chip and larger injectors or a chip with a bigger injection
pump. This covers 98% of all TDI drivers. This clutch was not meant for highly modified cars with bigger turbos and all other mods that go with a bigger turbo.
* Special clutch disc alignment tool and flywheel holding tool are now included with every kit! Click here for a picture of both tools in action!
* Kit includes all 6 flywheel stretch bolts and all 12
pressure plate bolts. Does not include optional 12 piece MK4 or 9 piece
MK5 transmission mount stretch bolt kit shown below.
This kit fits all TDI cars with five speed transmissions!
