What is the main advantage of the multi-plate design in this clutch?

The multi-plate design allows for a larger friction surface area within a given diameter. This is crucial for handling significantly higher torque loads, like the 800 ft-lbs this kit is rated for, while also helping to manage heat buildup.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch assembly and a steel flywheel. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of required components and fluids, as some additional items may be necessary for a proper installation.

How will this race clutch affect the driving feel compared to the stock clutch?

Expect a firmer pedal feel and a more abrupt engagement compared to a stock clutch. The sprung-disc design helps mitigate some drivetrain shock, but it is still a performance-oriented clutch built for high-torque applications and will feel different during daily driving.

About this part

Product Details

If you're pushing your 2000-2004 Audi A6 Quattro with the 2.7L engine beyond stock power levels, you'll need a clutch that can handle the extra grunt. This Clutch Masters 850 Series Race Clutch kit is built for just that, designed to manage up to 800 ft-lbs of torque. It's a serious upgrade for anyone looking to significantly increase their vehicle's performance and power handling capability.

This kit features a sprung-disc design, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that comes with higher torque applications, making it a bit more manageable for daily driving than a rigid setup. The sprung hub and dampened plates work together to reduce drivetrain shock. The clutch disc itself is a multi-plate setup, which is key to handling that much torque while keeping the pedal feel manageable. The included steel flywheel is a solid piece, providing a strong mounting surface for the clutch assembly and ensuring good heat dissipation. This is a well-built system designed for high-performance use where reliability under stress is paramount.

When installing a race clutch like this, it's important to remember that it's a significant departure from the factory setup. You'll want to ensure your entire drivetrain is in good condition, as this clutch will put more stress on other components. It's recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation, as it requires specialized knowledge and tools. This kit is intended for vehicles that have been modified for increased power output and will provide a noticeable change in engagement feel compared to a stock clutch.
