Clutch Masters 03-04 Audi RS6 4.2L Twin Turbo C5 01E Trans FX400 (6-Puck) Single Disc Clutch Kit

The Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit uses a 6-puck sprung disc, a design choice that offers a significant increase in holding capacity compared to a stock clutch. This makes it a solid option if you're looking to handle more power from your 2003 Audi RS6's 4.2L twin-turbo engine, especially when paired with modifications. The sprung hub design on the disc helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch, aiming to maintain a more comfortable driving experience than a solid hub disc might offer.

This kit features a high-performance pressure plate that works in conjunction with the 6-puck disc to provide a firm engagement. Clutch Masters is known for their well-built clutch components, and this FX400 kit is no exception. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your factory clutch assembly in the C5 chassis with the 01E transmission, meaning it fits right without requiring extensive modifications. While it's built for higher performance, it's important to note that a 6-puck clutch will have a more abrupt engagement than a stock clutch, which is something to get used to in daily driving. The kit includes the necessary components for a complete clutch replacement, ensuring you have what you need to get the job done.

When installing this clutch kit, it's always recommended to resurface or replace your flywheel to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the new clutch. Also, consider replacing the rear main seal and pilot bearing while the transmission is out, as these are common maintenance items that are easily addressed during a clutch job. This kit is a substantial upgrade for RS6 owners looking to push their vehicle's performance envelope.
