The Performance Clutches PC-2422-DS1H Stage 1 Street HD Clutch Kit for the Passat B6, B7 & B8 models is designed for drivers looking for increased torque capacity, improved durability, and a more positive driving experience without sacrificing everyday usability. Developed for vehicles equipped with a factory Sachs Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF), it provides a strong upgrade for tuned and performance-focused road cars.
The Stage 1 Street HD kit delivers a firmer and more positive pedal feel than the OE clutch, providing improved feedback and control while retaining smooth, predictable engagement for everyday driving. The uprated clutch assembly is designed to handle the additional torque produced by remapped and modified engines while reducing the risk of clutch slip under hard acceleration.
High-quality friction materials provide excellent heat resistance and durability, allowing the clutch to maintain consistent performance during spirited driving and repeated high-load use. With a torque capacity of approximately 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) at the wheels, it offers additional headroom for tuned applications.
Designed as a direct-fit upgrade for dual mass flywheel setups, the kit retains the refinement and vibration damping of the factory DMF while providing the additional holding power required by higher-output engines.
