Serious torque holding for EA888 Gen3 2.0 TSI manual cars

Eliminate slip and enjoy crisp, positive engagement with this proven performance clutch solution for MQB 6-speed manuals.

• Cooler running design to resist fade during back-to-back acceleration runs
• ER2 groove pattern and SG iron pressure plate casting for reliable heat dissipation
• Comfortable pedal effort with precise engagement for daily driving and spirited use
