Description

RTS Performance SMF Clutch Kit – MK7 R/ MK7/8 GTI, S3/TTS, Leon Cupra, Octavia VRS – 5/6 Paddle (RTS-6006SMF)

RTS has developed the ultimate SMF conversion kit & flywheel specifically for the EA888 engine.

Benefits of an Single Mass Flywheel.
The SMF replaces the out dated DMF. We have designed the SMF to carry the same weight as a DMF but the springs are transferred to the Twin Friction drive plate. This helps the application transfer heat more economically. The springs in the drive Plate allow for the standard peddle feel and removes any judder as with the DMF design.

Paddle: For the more advanced builds running higher power and for track use.

RTSPC-6006SMF (5&6 paddle) has been designed and manufactured to significantly exceed the original clutch system whilst also maintaining OE pedal effort, thus delivering a torque capacity of 550 lbs/ft of torque.

Suitable for the following EA888 Gen 3 Manual Cars

Volkswagen Golf Mk7 R
Volkswagen Golf Mk7 GTI
Volkswagen Golf Mk8 GTI
Audi S3 8V
Audi TTS 8S
Seat Leon Cupra MK3 (All variants)
Skoda Octavia VRS Mk3

Paddle

Due to its inherent design, engines are subject to rotating fluctuations. To minimise/prevent this, the NVH is absorbed by RTS unique clutch damper – function which suppresses the movement of the free, spinning gears and vibration transmitted to the transmission.

Paddle will hold more power as it has a ceramic pad material on both sides. This is more suited towards high power builds and non-daily / occasional track use. These performance clutches will have a heavier feel to it.


RTS Performance Clutch Covers

Ductile Steel can be bent without breaking, hereas cast iron is brittle and breaks when bent. Ductile Steal consists of Steel, carbon, silicon, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous and sulphur. Tin and copper are also sometimes found. Ductile iron also consists of nodular graphite, which gives it flexibility. Cheaper / lower grade brands use Cast Iron covers as it’s a cheaper alternative and most often are made in either China or the Far East. Cast Iron covers are mass produced and often are designed to fit multiple applications to save on cost.

Using Rationalised designed covers results in clutch failure as we are finding many brands are now using standard Cast Clutch covers on Performance or Fast Road applications. Rationalised covers are not designed to withstand the power uprated or higher power torque levels. Rationalised covers fit a range of vehicles which all hold initially different standard levels or power. The covers are designed to hold a limited Torque capacity for various applications and cannot absorb or transfer the heat once any performance modifications are made to the vehicle. RTS Ductile Steel Clutch Covers are designed to fit each application only. We never use Rationalised designs unlike many competitive brands.
