Clutch Masters 97-01 Audi A4 (B5 Turbo) FX400 Ceramic Lined Sprung Clutch Kit (Use w/ FW-240-SF)

When you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1997-2005 Audi A4 with a B5 Turbo engine, this Clutch Masters FX400 Ceramic Lined Sprung Clutch Kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for those who have modified their turbocharged Audi or are planning to. It includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing, all the essential components needed for a clutch replacement. Remember, this kit is designed to be used with the Clutch Masters FW-240-SF flywheel, so make sure you have that on hand or add it to your order.

The FX400 series clutch uses a ceramic-lined disc, which offers a good balance between holding power and drivability. Ceramic material is known for its ability to withstand higher temperatures and torque loads compared to organic materials, making it suitable for spirited driving and moderate performance upgrades. The sprung hub design of the clutch disc helps to absorb some of the drivetrain shock, which can lead to a smoother engagement and reduce stress on other components. This makes it a more comfortable option for daily driving than some other high-performance clutch setups.

Clutch Masters is a well-known name in the performance clutch market, and this FX400 kit reflects their experience. It's a well-built assembly that aims to provide improved engagement and clamping force over the factory unit. When installing this kit, it's always a good idea to resurface or replace your flywheel to ensure proper clutch break-in and longevity. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding break-in procedures and torque specifications.
