What is the primary benefit of the Stage 3+ clutch kit over a stock clutch?

The Stage 3+ clutch kit offers a significantly higher torque holding capacity than your factory clutch. This makes it suitable for vehicles with engine modifications that produce more power and torque, ensuring reliable engagement under demanding conditions.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to also resurface or replace your flywheel and consider replacing the pilot bearing and rear main seal while the transmission is removed.

Will this clutch kit affect the feel of my car's clutch pedal?

Yes, performance clutch kits like this one often have a firmer pedal feel compared to a stock clutch due to the increased clamping force of the pressure plate. The sprung clutch disc helps to mitigate some of the harshness.

About this part

Product Details

This is the SPEC Stage 3+ Clutch Kit for your 2007-2009 Audi S4 or 2007-2008 Audi RS4 with the 4.2L engine. If you're looking to put more power down, especially after making modifications, this clutch kit is built to handle the extra torque and demands of a performance-oriented vehicle. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your stock clutch, but with a significant upgrade in holding capacity.

The Stage 3+ kit features a high-performance sprung clutch disc paired with a robust pressure plate. The disc material is chosen for its ability to grip effectively under higher loads, while the sprung design helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup. This combination offers a noticeable improvement in engagement and power transfer compared to a stock clutch, making it a solid choice for drivers who push their cars harder or have added performance modifications. The pressure plate is engineered to provide a strong clamping force, ensuring the clutch disc stays engaged even when you're applying significant power.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to resurface or replace your flywheel to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. You'll also want to 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 designed to work with your existing transmission and drivetrain components, offering a comprehensive upgrade for your Audi's performance.
