Clutch Masters 02-05 Audi A4/A4 Quattro 1.8T B6 FX500 6-Puck Rigid Disc Clutch - 350ft/lbs Torque

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1997-2005 Audi A4 or A4 Quattro with the 1.8T engine, especially if you're pushing more power or planning for future modifications, this Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle up to 350 ft-lbs of torque, making it suitable for drivers who want a more robust clutch than stock for spirited driving or moderate performance builds.

The FX500 series features a 6-puck rigid disc, which offers a more direct engagement compared to a sprung disc. This means you'll feel a more immediate connection between the engine and the transmission, which can be beneficial for quick shifts and performance driving. The rigid disc design, combined with the FX500 pressure plate, is built for holding power and consistent engagement. Clutch Masters is known for well-built clutch components, and this kit is no exception, aiming to provide reliable performance for demanding use.

This kit includes the necessary components for a clutch replacement, but it's important to remember that a clutch job also typically involves replacing the pilot bearing, throw-out bearing, and potentially the rear main seal. It's also a good idea to have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the new clutch. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate procedure and any specific torque requirements.
