LOF POWERspec 2.8 TGV + 300TDI Heavy-Duty Clutch Kit

LOF POWERspec 2.8 TGV Heavy-Duty Clutch Kit

A serious clutch for 2.8 TGV, VNT Tdi and hard-working Land Rover builds.

Originally developed for the International HS 2.8 TGV, this POWERspec kit is also a direct bolt-on option for suitable 200Tdi and 300Tdi applications where extra torque capacity is needed. It suits towing, loaded touring, competition use and higher-output Tdi builds, including VNT-equipped engines.

The same clutch specification is also used in selected OM606 diesel conversions and Lexus 1UZ V8 conversions. These conversion applications depend on the flywheel, adapter and gearbox package being used, so they should be confirmed before ordering rather than treated as universal bolt-on fitment.

Conversion applications

• International HS 2.8 TGV Land Rover applications.
• 200Tdi / 300Tdi builds needing more clutch capacity, including tuned and VNT setups.
• OM606 conversions using a compatible Land Rover/R380 flywheel and adapter arrangement.
• Lexus 1UZ conversions using a compatible flywheel, adapter and gearbox arrangement.

If you are using the clutch behind an engine conversion rather than a standard Tdi/TGV installation, send KINGPIN the engine, gearbox, flywheel and adapter details so the setup can be checked before ordering.

Why choose the TGV POWERspec?

• Designed around the higher torque output of the International HS 2.8 TGV.
• Suitable for tuned and VNT-equipped 200Tdi / 300Tdi applications.
• Heavy-duty friction material with a high-torque sprung centre hub.
• Built for towing, expedition weight, off-road competition and hard-working vehicles.
• Pedal effort remains usable for a heavy-duty clutch setup.

Kit contents

• LOF POWERspec heavy-duty friction plate.
• Uprated heavy-duty clutch cover.
• LOF EXTREMEspec release bearing, replacing FTC5200.
• OEM spigot bush.
• G90 high-temperature assembly grease.
• CNC wire-formed bearing retaining clip.
• CNC wire-formed pushrod retaining clip.
• Six high-tensile clutch-cover bolts.

Optional MWM rear main seal

Add the genuine MWM-style upgraded rear crankshaft seal for $175 extra. It is the preferred upgrade for 2.8 TGV and 300Tdi applications where the rear main seal is being replaced while the gearbox is already out.

300Tdi MWM seal fitment: the MWM rear main seal is not a simple bolt-on to a standard 300Tdi block. The block requires modification for correct fitment, including drilling and tapping the additional lower fixing points. If you are unsure about the machining or preparation required, confirm the installation with KINGPIN before fitting.

R380 / driveline note

The stronger sprung centre can make existing gearbox backlash more noticeable. LOF notes that worn R380 gearboxes can exhibit additional gear chatter with this clutch. This is a characteristic worth considering on high-kilometre or worn transmissions.
