ACT VR1-HDG6 Heavy Duty Race Sprung 6-Pad Clutch Kit for Select Audi and VW 1990-2006 (1.8T)

Fits select 1990-2006 Audi and Volkswagen models including TT, Beetle, Corrado, EuroVan, Golf, Jetta, and Passat (1.8T).

The ACT VR1-HDG6 clutch kit is engineered for drivers requiring high clamp load and rapid shifting without sacrificing drivetrain durability. This kit features ACT’s Heavy Duty pressure plate, which utilizes an exclusive diaphragm design and a four-stage heat-treating process to significantly increase clamping force while reducing pedal deflection. Precision cover stampings ensure the rigidity needed for consistent engagement under high-performance conditions.

The 6-pad spring-centered race disc is designed for larger clutch sizes to better manage heat soak. It employs a spring-center hub to damp torsional vibrations, protecting your transmission from harsh harmonics. ACT’s wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings provide critical support to the springs, reducing stress concentrations and preventing failure during aggressive driving. While engagement is firmer than stock, the reward is significantly faster gear transitions and a higher torque capacity.
