VR6-style clutch kit built from genuine Sachs parts with upgraded friction material and springs. Rated for 350 ft-lb of torque. Uses a woven, medium-metal-content friction lining for durable street and rally/endurance use.
Fits the VR6, G60, or A3/B4 TDI flywheel bolt pattern — this is a different flywheel interface than the ALH/BEW-pattern kits (South Bend Stage 3 Endurance/Daily). Confirm your existing flywheel matches this pattern before ordering, since this kit does not include a flywheel.
This kit includes: pressure plate, clutch disc, throwout bearing, alignment tool.
Not included: flywheel.
