RTS Performance 5 Paddle Uprated Clutch Kit
This new upgraded performance clutch for the Golf R, S3 and other EA888 Gen 3 equipped vehicles from RTS promises big things. The unique design combines a twin purpose friction plate utilising both organic and paddle designs with a retracting strap plate clutch assembly. The result is a clutch suitable for many stage 1/2/3 applications, with a much lighter feel than a standard paddle setup matching practicality with performance driving.
Which kit do I need?
Twin-Friction (RTSTF-6006)

Rated to 610Nm / 450lb/ft
5 Paddle (RTSPC-6006HDB)

Rated to 715Nm / 530lb/ft
How does a clutch that transfers more torque and has a higher clamping pressure feel lighter?
A retracting strap plate clutch assembly having a single annular body strap plate affixed to a clutch pressure plate has integrally preformed spring resilient tabs mounted to the clutch housing. The tabs are normally spring loaded to retract the strap plate toward the diaphragm spring so that when the clutch is released the tabs cause the pressure plate to smoothly disengage from a friction disc.
