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

A Stage 3+ clutch kit, like this SPEC kit, is designed to handle significantly more torque than your factory clutch. This is achieved through a multi-plate design and a high-performance pressure plate, making it suitable for modified engines or demanding driving conditions.

Does this clutch kit come with a new flywheel?

This SPEC Stage 3+ Clutch Kit includes the pressure plate and clutch disc. It does not include a flywheel. It is recommended to resurface or replace your existing flywheel during installation for optimal performance and clutch life.

What other parts should I consider replacing when installing this clutch?

When replacing your clutch, it's a good time to also consider replacing wear items like the pilot bearing and rear main seal, as they are easily accessible with the transmission removed. Ensuring your flywheel is in good condition is also crucial for proper clutch function.

About this part

Product Details

This is the SPEC Stage 3+ Clutch Kit for your 2012-2013 Audi TT RS Quattro with the 2.5L engine. If you're looking to handle more power, whether from engine modifications or just want a more robust clutch for spirited driving, this kit is designed to step up to the challenge. It replaces your stock clutch with components that offer a higher torque capacity and a more direct engagement feel.

The Stage 3+ kit includes a high-performance pressure plate and a sprung, multi-plate clutch disc. The sprung design helps absorb some of the shock during engagement, making it more manageable for daily driving than a solid unsprung disc, while still offering a strong grip. The multi-plate setup increases the surface area for clamping force, allowing it to hold significantly more torque than a single-plate clutch. This is a well-built kit aimed at drivers who demand more from their drivetrain, especially after increasing horsepower.

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 as a direct replacement for your factory clutch assembly, but it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications.
