Clutch Masters 97-01 Audi A4 1.8L B5 Turbo FX300 Clutch Kit Sprung Hub Segmented Kevlar Disc

Clutch Masters is well-known for making robust clutch components that can handle more power and abuse than stock. This FX300 clutch kit is built for your 1997-2005 Audi A4 or Passat with the 1.8L B5 turbo engine, especially if you've upgraded the turbo or are looking for a more direct feel from your drivetrain. It's a popular choice for drivers who want a clutch that can keep up with their car's performance potential.

This kit features a segmented Kevlar disc, which offers a good balance of holding power and drivability. The sprung hub design helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch, making it a bit more comfortable for daily driving compared to a solid hub setup. The segmented design of the Kevlar disc also helps with heat dissipation, which is crucial for preventing clutch fade during spirited driving or repeated hard launches. Clutch Masters uses high-quality materials to ensure this clutch can handle the demands of a tuned 1.8T engine.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's a good time to inspect your flywheel for wear and consider resurfacing or replacing it if necessary. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your stock clutch assembly, but always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications to ensure a proper and safe installation.
