RTS Performance Clutch Kit RTS-6008 for VW Golf GTD 2.0 TDI & Skoda Octavia vRS Mk3 2.0 TDI Uprated HD, Twin Friction or Paddle 3-Piece with Release Bearing Fast Road/Track Manual Upgrade

RTS Performance Clutch Kit RTS-6008 for VW Golf GTD 2.0 TDI and Skoda Octavia vRS Mk3 2.0 TDI

Upgrade your diesel manual to a clutch assembly that actually keeps up with torque-rich remaps and hard use. The RTS Performance Clutch Kit RTS-6008 is a premium heavy-duty replacement for Volkswagen Golf GTD 2.0 TDI and Skoda Octavia vRS Mk3 2.0 TDI manual transmission cars. Choose the setup that suits your build and driving style, with HD, Twin Friction or Paddle options, all supplied as a complete 3 piece kit with release bearing included.

Built for demanding drivers, this kit delivers high torque holding with predictable bite and smooth engagement, ideal for fast road, trackday and spirited B-road use while remaining perfectly manageable in traffic. The Twin Friction drive plate pairs a specialised aramid lining on the flywheel side with a segmented pressure plate face for excellent heat control and wear resistance. Aramid friction surfaces can show up to 50 percent less wear than conventional linings, which means more consistent performance and longer service life under load.

The pressure plate uses a spheroidal casting micro-structure with ER2 technology for improved heat dissipation and stability. With increased clamp load, the assembly can transmit up to 60 percent more torque than the factory clutch, giving you the confidence to exploit tuning upgrades without slip or fade as temperatures rise.

We have installed this kit on customer Golf GTD and Octavia vRS builds in-house and the feedback speaks for itself. Owners report strong positive engagement, excellent modulation, reduced fade under repeated hard pulls and dependable performance that supports tuned applications without sacrificing day to day drivability.
