The Performance Clutches PC-2352-DS3P Stage 3 Sport Clutch Kit is designed for high-output and heavily modified Golf R models that retain their factory Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF). Offering increased torque capacity, stronger engagement and excellent resistance to heat, it is suited to builds that have moved beyond the capabilities of a standard or Stage 2 clutch.
The Stage 3 Sport uses a high-clamp pressure plate to provide substantially increased holding force, helping maintain reliable power transfer under hard acceleration and high torque loads. It is particularly well suited to high-boost, big-turbo and heavily tuned engines where clutch slip can become an issue.
A 6-paddle friction disc provides a more immediate and assertive engagement than a conventional organic clutch. The performance-focused friction material is designed to cope with higher temperatures and repeated hard use, making the kit suitable for fast road cars that also see regular track or performance use.
Despite its more aggressive characteristics, the kit is designed to retain the factory DMF. This preserves the flywheel's damping characteristics, helping to reduce drivetrain noise and vibration compared with a solid flywheel setup.
