DKM Stage 2 MB Clutch Kit with Flywheel for Volkswagen MK5 GTI and MK6 Golf R

Upgrade the clutch in your Volkswagen or 2.0T FSI with the DKM Stage 2 MB Performance Clutch Kit. Rated to handle up to 440 lb-ft of torque, this complete clutch and steel flywheel package combines increased holding capacity with a sprung organic disc for aggressive street driving and moderate track use. Quick Fitment Overview Fits Volkswagen MK5 GTI (2006–2008) Fits Volkswagen MK6 Golf R (2012–2013) Fits vehicles equipped with 2.0T FSI engine Requires compatible 6-bolt crankshaft configuration Product Description The DKM Stage 2 MB Clutch Kit is designed for enthusiasts who need greater torque-holding capacity than the factory clutch can provide. Suitable for stock and modified 2.0T FSI applications, the system is engineered to transfer power reliably during spirited acceleration while maintaining the progressive engagement characteristics of an organic clutch disc. The sprung clutch disc uses a woven organic friction compound with brass reinforcement and alloy backing materials to provide a balance of grip, heat resistance, and drivability. Its sprung-hub design helps absorb drivetrain shock during engagement, making it a practical choice for performance-oriented street vehicles that also see occasional track use. A 4130 chromoly steel single-mass flywheel replaces the compatible factory flywheel assembly. The steel construction provides a durable friction surface while the single-mass design offers a more direct mechanical connection between the engine and transmission. Some additional drivetrain noise or gear chatter may occur compared with the factory dual-mass flywheel. DKM rates this Stage 2 MB system for up to 440 lb-ft of torque, with up to an 80% increase in torque capacity compared with applicable factory clutch configurations. The package includes the pressure plate, sprung organic clutch disc, steel flywheel, and alignment tool, with additional release components supplied where applicable.

A: This kit is designed for compatible Volkswagen 2.0T FSI 6-bolt applications, including MK5 GTI and MK6 Golf R. Confirm the engine and transmission configuration before ordering. Q: How much torque can the DKM Stage 2 MB Clutch Kit handle? A: DKM rates the kit for up to 440 lb-ft of torque. Actual clutch performance depends on installation, vehicle configuration, driving conditions, and clutch break-in. Q: Does the DKM Stage 2 Clutch Kit include a flywheel? A: Yes. The kit includes a 4130 chromoly steel single-mass flywheel designed for the compatible application. Q: What components are included in the kit? A: The core package includes a performance pressure plate, sprung organic clutch disc, steel flywheel, and alignment tool. Additional bearings or related components are supplied when applicable to the specific kit configuration. Q: Is this clutch suitable for daily driving? A: Yes. The sprung organic disc is designed to provide progressive engagement suitable for performance-oriented street driving, although pedal effort and engagement may differ from the factory clutch. Q: Can this clutch be used for track driving? A: DKM recommends the MB series for aggressive street use and moderate track use. More demanding motorsport applications may require a different clutch configuration. Q: What is the difference between a single-mass and dual-mass flywheel? A: A single-mass flywheel uses a more direct mechanical design, while a dual-mass flywheel incorporates additional vibration-damping components. Switching to a single-mass flywheel can increase drivetrain noise or gear chatter. Q: Is a break-in period required? A: Follow DKM's specified clutch break-in procedure before aggressive acceleration or track use. Proper bedding helps establish consistent engagement and clutch performance.
