Product Description

The DKM Stage 2 MB Clutch Kit is engineered for Volkswagen enthusiasts who need greater torque capacity than the factory clutch provides. Designed for aggressive street driving and moderate track use, the system delivers reliable power transfer while retaining the progressive engagement characteristics of an organic friction disc.

The sprung clutch disc features woven organic friction material with brass reinforcement and alloy backing. This construction provides increased heat tolerance and durability, while the sprung hub helps absorb drivetrain shock during clutch engagement.

A 4130 chromoly steel single-mass flywheel replaces the factory dual-mass flywheel on compatible applications. Its durable construction provides a direct connection between the engine and transmission, making it well suited for performance-oriented vehicles. As with other single-mass flywheel conversions, additional drivetrain noise or gear chatter may be noticeable.

DKM rates the MB series for up to 440 lb-ft of torque, with a claimed increase of up to 80% in torque capacity over applicable factory clutch configurations. The kit includes the pressure plate, sprung organic disc, steel flywheel, and necessary installation components, providing a comprehensive clutch upgrade for compatible manual-transmission Volkswagen applications.
