Golf R Clutch & Flywheels

Golf R Clutch Kits & Flywheels

A Golf R performance clutch kit comes packed with stronger springs and heavy-duty discs. This allows the clutch in the Mk7 or Mk7.5 VW Golf R far greater holding power and reduces any torque or power wastage.

Far more durable than an original kit, a performance clutch allows your Mk7 Golf R to hold higher speeds for longer, allowing that increase in performance to run nice and smoothly. Often using a drive plate friction material, an aftermarket clutch kit dissipates heat far greater than a standard clutch kit.

It's well-documented that a remapped Golf R can reach some insane amounts of brake horsepower with a full tuning package installed. The job of the aftermarket clutch is to keep temperatures down while the operating temperatures increase, allowing the vehicle's clutch to run cooler for longer.

While a new clutch will not necessarily increase power itself, it can regain the power lost from clutch slippage on the stock unit. Thus allowing you to reach the performance figures quoted on our remap pages without any hitch.

For manual Golf R owners that are looking at taking steps into the tuning world then an aftermarket performance clutch may be exactly what you need. We highly recommend fitting an uprated clutch kit on manual Golf R's if you are looking at purchasing our Stage 2 Golf R Tuning Package.

There are a few options when it comes down to selecting a new clutch for your vehicle, but we tend to recommend the RTS uprated clutch, which is tried and tested on our VUDU Performance tuning packages.
