Introducing the RADesigns VW Clutch Management System!
The 1st ever production Air Powered clutch control on the market!
After many years of stick shift racing muscle cars, import, domestic, and air-cooled vws of all type, clutch control is a big deal! I have been focusing on testing many versions of clutches, material types, diameters, as well as making some form of clutch control for vehicles. Some of them worked but I was never content to say they worked consistently which led to killing clutches or breaking parts.
I am very proud of what I finally have created and tested with consistent results on multiple cars now and feel this is the simplest route that bolts on for the air-cooled vws for Type 1, Type 2, and Mendeola transmissions.
This is the 7th version of clutch management design that I have built and have created a production kit that comes complete with additional options to fit drag racers application to achieve the following:
- Awesome 60 ft times over and over
- Not break your expensive transmission
- More clutch life
- Consistent launches
- Complete control of clutch slip with quick and simple flow valve
- enjoy racing your car more!
RAD Clutch Management features:
- Optional Co2 tank kit and activation switch options if needed for your install.
- Complete mounting hardware to bolt on and be ready to test in about 1 hour of work.
- Powder coated finished bracket with LaserJet RAD logo for a beautiful finish
- 1/4" thick steel brackets for strength
- No welding required!
- 100% bolt on!
- multiple hole settings for release speed and fit to your likings
- fully adjustable speeds and pressure in seconds
- works with stage 1,2,3, and 4 single or twin disc clutches

Street Cars with factory firewall/shelf fitment:
You must cut the upper hole located on the clutch arm and use the lower hole. The RAD CM clutch arm has the revision so it can be cut to fit. To see if yours will fit this system the measurement from center of clutch shaft to top of lower hole is 5 INCHES. if yours has more room you are ok. This system does not work on factory shelf tin cars with any transmission raises.
Compressed air is used with this device and can be dangerous! If you don't know what you are doing then DO NOT attempt to install or buy this product! This is a specialty product for off road use drag racing only to control clutch slip when launching!
