KEP 200mm 6-Puck Clutch Disc | VW Type 1/2/3 Air-Cooled | Sprung Hub, Streetable (16-9899-0)

Kennedy Engineered Products (KEP) 200mm 6-Puck Clutch Disc — Sprung Hub, Streetable

Kennedy Engineered Products (KEP) 200 mm 6-puck clutch disc — the more streetable of Kennedy's two 200 mm puck-style discs. The 6-puck pattern engages more progressively than a 4-puck (more friction surface, smoother on/off feel) while still providing a significant grip upgrade over a stock full-faced disc.

Vehicle Fitment

• VW Type 1 / Type 2 / Type 3: All years — Beetle, Bus, Karmann Ghia, Thing, and Type 3 running a 200 mm flywheel
• Best for: Performance street, light off-road, autocross, and weekend drag duty

Frequently Asked Questions

• 6-puck or 4-puck — which should I choose? The KEP 6-puck (this disc) is the better balance of street manners and performance; you give up a bit of peak hookup versus the 4-puck, but engagement is far more livable. If you only race and want maximum bite, the KEP 4-puck (16-9898-0) is the more aggressive choice.
• What pressure plate should I run with it? Pair it with a KEP pressure plate — Stage 1 (1700 lb) or higher — sized to your engine's output.
• Will it hold up to street driving? Yes. It's the right choice for built engines that still see street miles — livable engagement that won't beat up your transaxle on launches.
