RTS Performance SMF Clutch Kit with Single Mass Flywheel for 1.8 Turbo VW Audi Seat 6-Speed
Upgrade your 1.8T with the RTS Performance Single Mass Flywheel (SMF) Clutch Kit. This proven SMF conversion replaces the factory dual mass flywheel to deliver greater durability, stronger heat management and sharper response while keeping drivability intact. Ideal for fast road, track and performance builds on VW MK4 Golf GTI 1.8T, Audi A3/S3 8L, Audi TT 8N, Seat Leon MK1 and Seat Toledo MK2 6-speed manuals.
Why choose RTS Single Mass Flywheel
- SMF conversion solves the common DMF heat dissipation issues and offers increased longevity versus dual mass flywheels.
- Designed with the same weight as the OE DMF to keep pedal feel and noise changes to a minimum and maintain OE-like MOI to minimise the risk of crank walk.
- Solid flywheel inertia helps reduce engine vibration, improves heat dissipation and removes complex, high-wear DMF components.
- RTS clutch damping absorbs more NVH, adding protection to the transmission and delivering a longer service life than a troublesome DMF setup.
Your choice of performance friction
HD
The HD option is the robust, uprated choice for daily-driven and fast road 1.8T cars. It delivers increased clamping force and durability with smooth engagement and an OE-like driving experience.
Twin Friction
RTS Twin Friction uses an advanced aramid friction on the flywheel side and a segmented pressure plate face. The aramid material exhibits up to 50 percent less wear than conventional friction, with significantly reduced fade as temperatures rise. In combination with the spheroidal casting micro-structure and ER2 technology, the kit dissipates heat more effectively so it runs cooler for longer. This Twin Friction kit is engineered to transmit up to 60 percent more torque than a standard clutch kit, making it perfect for everyday driving, fast road and circuit use while remaining user-friendly.
5 Paddle
The 5 Paddle option uses ceramic paddle friction on both sides for maximum power holding. RTS’s unique clutch damper helps absorb NVH, suppressing free gear movement and vibration transmitted to the gearbox. Best suited to high-power builds, non-daily use and occasional track work. Expect a firmer pedal and a more focused, motorsport-style feel.
