Borg & Beck introduces first DCT clutch kit to growing portfolio

Borg & Beck, First Line Ltd.’s globally respected clutch brand, is expanding its range with the launch of its first Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) clutch kit.

The latest addition, HKDCT1000, caters to VAG applications with 7-speed, direct-shift gearboxes, with popular applications including Audi A1 Sportback 2018-, Seat Ibiza V 2017-, Skoda Fabia III 2014-, and VW Polo VI 2017-.

The new part number, now available to order, marks the brand’s first step into the DCT market.

DCTs combine the performance of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic, using two clutches, providing improved fuel efficiency, quicker acceleration and smoother shifting in comparison to traditional automatic transmissions.

The dual-clutch design allows for rapid and smooth transitions as the next gear is pre-selected by one of the clutches before a gear change.

As part of its commitment to supporting technicians with comprehensive and high-quality repair solutions, Borg & Beck has ensured that all necessary accessories for fitment are included in the kit.

Kelvin Olds, Product Director at First Line Ltd., said: “The introduction of our first DCT clutch kit reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the market. Modern transmissions demand precision-engineered components, and our expansion into DCT clutch kits ensures that workshops can rely on Borg & Beck for high-quality, OE-matching solutions.”
