Will the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch fit a Mk4 Golf GTI VR6?

Yes. Turn 14 lists the 17950 for the 1999-2002 Golf GTI with the 2.8-liter VR6, including the GLX, as well as the 1995-1998 GTI VR6, the 1994-2002 Jetta, the 1993-1997 Passat GLX and the 1992-1994 Corrado SLC, all on the same 28-tooth spline.

How much power will the VR6 clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 17950 at 377 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 302 lb-ft at the wheels from 2,091 lb of clamp load. That covers a supercharged or turbocharged 12-valve VR6 on moderate boost, with margin for launches and track days.

Does it fit the 24-valve VR6?

Turn 14 lists the 17950 for the 12-valve 2.8-liter VR6 cars only. Later 24-valve VR6 models are not on the application list for this kit, so check with EXEDY before fitting it to one of them, because the drivetrain may differ.

Does the VR6 need a single-mass flywheel with this clutch?

The source data does not specify a flywheel for this kit. Many VR6 cars have dual-mass flywheels, so confirm with the installer which flywheel the 17950 should run against before ordering, since the gearbox has to come out either way.

Is a cerametallic clutch harsh in a VR6 daily driver?

It is firmer than stock and can chatter on gentle starts, which the sprung hub of the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch reduces. A boosted VR6 benefits from the holding power, while a stock car used for commuting may be smoother on the EXEDY Stage 1 organic kit.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Volkswagen Corrado SLC, Golf, Jetta and Passat VR6 (Thick Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Volkswagen Corrado SLC, Golf, Jetta and Passat VR6 fits the 12-valve 2.8-liter VR6 cars of 1992-2002, an engine that is often supercharged or turbocharged by enthusiasts. The 228 mm thick cerametallic disc and 2,091 lb of clamp load are rated at 377 lb-ft at the flywheel, a big step past the factory clutch.

Design and Performance

A ductile-cast cover applies 2,091 lb of clamp load to a 228 mm thick cerametallic disc on the 28-tooth, 22.2 mm spline, for 474 lb-ft of clutch torque by EXEDY figures. The thick disc carries heat through launches and track sessions, and the sprung center damper keeps the take-up of a cerametallic disc manageable in a front-drive car.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
