Clutch Masters 12-13 Audi TT RS 2.5L Turbo 6spd FX400 Clutch Kit 8-Puck Sprung Disc

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2012 or 2013 Audi TT RS with the 2.5L turbo and 6-speed transmission, this Clutch Masters FX400 kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts who have modified their turbocharged engines and need a clutch that can keep up. The FX400 series is known for its ability to hold significant power while still offering a manageable pedal feel for daily driving, though it's important to note that an 8-puck disc will have a more abrupt engagement than a stock clutch.

Inside this kit, you'll find an 8-puck sprung disc. The 8-puck design offers a larger surface area for engagement compared to a 4-puck disc, which helps with drivability and reduces chatter, while still providing the clamping force needed for higher horsepower applications. The sprung hub on the disc helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can be transmitted through the drivetrain, making it a bit more comfortable for street use than a rigid hub design. Clutch Masters uses a high-performance pressure plate in this kit, engineered to provide the necessary clamping force to prevent clutch slippage under load. This kit also includes a pilot bearing and an alignment tool, which are crucial for a smooth and accurate installation.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's always recommended to have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced to ensure optimal performance and longevity. You'll also want to consider replacing the rear main seal and clutch slave cylinder while the transmission is out, as these are common maintenance items that are easily addressed during a clutch job. This kit is a significant upgrade for your TT RS, offering a robust solution for increased power output and a more direct connection to your engine.
