T4,G3 215mm Clutch Kit - 1.9 Diesel Engines (1X,ABL)

This 215mm clutch kit is a direct replacement for Volkswagen T4 Transporter models fitted with 1.9 naturally aspirated diesel (1X) and 1.9 turbo diesel (ABL) engines. Designed to restore smooth, reliable power transfer between the engine and gearbox, this kit is ideal for daily use, work vans, campers, and flatbed applications.

The clutch assembly works by clamping the friction disc between the flywheel and pressure plate, allowing engine torque to be transmitted to the gearbox input shaft. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the release bearing disengages the pressure plate, separating the disc from the flywheel so gears can be changed smoothly without drivetrain shock.

With a 215mm friction diameter and 28 spline teeth, this clutch is correctly matched to the factory flywheel and gearbox input shaft used on early and late 1.9 diesel T4 platforms. It provides dependable engagement, progressive pedal feel, and durability under load—particularly important for commercial and high-mileage vehicles.
