210mm Clutch Kit - Type 4 Engines - 1700cc, 1800cc

This complete 210mm clutch kit is designed for Volkswagen Type 4 aircooled engines with 1700cc and 1800cc capacities, fitted with the factory 210mm flywheel. Manufactured to a top quality standard, this kit provides everything required for a full clutch replacement, restoring smooth engagement, reliable power transfer, and correct pedal feel.

What this clutch kit does

The clutch assembly transfers engine power to the gearbox while allowing smooth disengagement for gear changes. Over time, wear to the friction disc, pressure plate, or release bearing can cause slipping, judder, noise, or difficulty selecting gears. Replacing the complete clutch assembly ensures all components work together correctly, improving drivability and protecting the gearbox.

How it works

When the clutch pedal is released, the pressure plate clamps the clutch disc firmly against the flywheel, transmitting engine torque to the transmission. Pressing the pedal activates the clutch release bearing, lifting the pressure plate and allowing the disc to disengage so gears can be changed. This 210mm kit is precision-engineered to match the original Type 4 setup, ensuring correct clamping force and smooth operation.
