What is the difference between a Stage 1 clutch and a stock clutch?

A Stage 1 clutch, like this SPEC kit, typically offers a firmer engagement and can handle more torque than a factory clutch. It's designed for improved performance and durability, especially if you have mild engine modifications, while remaining comfortable for daily driving.

Does this clutch kit include a pilot bearing and release bearing?

This SPEC Stage 1 clutch kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to inspect and replace the pilot bearing and release bearing during clutch service, as these are often sold separately.

What should I do with my flywheel when installing this clutch?

It is highly recommended to resurface or replace the flywheel when installing a new clutch. This ensures a smooth mating surface for the new clutch disc, preventing premature wear and ensuring proper engagement.

About this part

Product Details

This is a SPEC Stage 1 clutch kit, part number SV311, designed specifically for the 1984-1987 Audi 4000 and the 1985 Volkswagen Quantum with 1.6L or 1.8L engines.
