Uprated Solid Flywheel Clutch Package for 1.8 Turbo 6‑speed VAG platforms

Transform the way your 1.8 turbo manuals drive with the RTS uprated clutch and solid flywheel package. This one‑piece flywheel conversion replaces the factory dual mass unit to deliver tougher heat control, crisp engagement and long‑term reliability while keeping road manners civilised. A proven choice for quick road cars, trackday builds and tuned 1.8T projects across VW Golf MK4, Audi A3 and S3 8L, Audi TT 8N, Seat Leon MK1 and Seat Toledo MK2 6‑speed models.

Performance highlights

• One‑piece flywheel conversion replaces wear‑prone dual mass components for durability and consistency under repeated hard use.
• Engineered mass closely mirrors factory weight to preserve pedal feel, drivability and refinement on the road.
• Improved thermal management and fade resistance thanks to robust materials and advanced pressure plate design.
• Integrated clutch damping reduces vibration and gearbox chatter, protecting the transmission and keeping NVH in check.
• Strong bite and confident engagement that suits remapped and enthusiast‑driven 1.8 turbo applications.

Choose your friction option

HD

Heavy‑duty road upgrade for daily use and spirited driving. Increased clamping force with smooth take‑up and an OEM‑like pedal, ideal for stage‑style fast road maps where you want set‑and‑forget reliability.

Twin Friction

Aramid facing on the flywheel side paired with a segmented pressure plate face for outstanding bite and wear resistance. The aramid material offers up to 50 percent less wear than conventional facings and resists fade at elevated temperatures. Combined with spheroidal casting micro‑structure and ER2 groove technology, this setup sheds heat efficiently and can transmit up to 60 percent more torque than a standard clutch kit. Perfect for everyday use, fast road and circuit driving without sacrificing usability.

5 Paddle

Ceramic paddle friction on both sides for maximum torque capacity and rapid engagement. RTS damping helps suppress free gear movement and vibration transmitted to the gearbox. Best suited to higher power builds, occasional road use and track days. Expect a firmer pedal and a focused, motorsport feel.
