South Bend Clutch Stage 2 Drag Clutch Kit w/ Flywheel (15-18 Golf 1.8T, 14-16 Jetta 1.8T, 14-15 Passat 1.8T)
Product Details
Description
STAGE 2 DRAG:
Drag racing requires a Single Mass SFI approved Flywheel to be included with each kit when the original design is Dual Mass. This system features a Heavy Duty Pressure Plate modified for a puck style disc with no cushion between the linings to keep the clutch pedal travel short and quick. The puck design disc reduces rotational mass and total drive surface area while increasing pounds per square inch on the surface of the friction material. This combination minimizes inertia, accelerating the transfer of torque from the engine to the wheels. The friction material used for this race application is Graphite Impregnated Ceramic. This compound exceeded all other friction materials when testing for durability, reduced chatter, heat transfer and torque capacity.
Recommended uses are drag racing, drifting and limited street.
Torque Rating of 390 ft-lbs.
Flywheel Features
Flywheels manufactured by SBC are made from low carbon, hot rolled steel that is highly resistant to warping and perfectly suited for the friction materials mated to them. Single mount CNC machining guarantees precise tolerances and perfect balance exceeding O.E. specifications. Extensive field testing has been done to determine the proper weight for each specific vehicle and to ensure smooth operation, safety and durability under extreme operating conditions.
Kit Contains:
- Clutch Disc
- Pressure Plate

- Single mass Flywheel
Does not come with a throwout bearing
Don't Forget to upgrade your rear main seal while installing your clutch!
Why?
The most common cause of rear main seal failure is a faulty PCV valve. The TSI engine is known to have PCV valve failures, which will cause an excess crankcase pressure. This is more pressure than the rear main seal can handle. This can cause check engine lights or mysterious oil leaks.
- This seal is only accessible once the transmission and flywheel are removed making it a good idea to replace it while installing a new clutch!
