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

A Stage 3 clutch kit, like this SPEC SA113, is designed to handle significantly more torque than a stock clutch. It offers improved engagement and durability, making it suitable for performance driving or vehicles with engine modifications.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the performance pressure plate and a sprung hub clutch disc. It is recommended to inspect and potentially resurface or replace the flywheel, and you may need a pilot bearing and alignment tool, which are typically sold separately.

How does the sprung hub disc affect driving?

The sprung hub design on the clutch disc helps to dampen vibrations and absorb some of the shock during engagement. This can make the clutch feel a bit smoother and more forgiving in daily driving compared to a solid hub disc, while still providing the necessary grip for performance.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1978-1988 Audi 5000, especially if you're pushing more power or planning on spirited driving, this Stage 3 clutch kit from SPEC is a solid option. It's designed to handle increased torque and provide a more direct engagement than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for drivers who want a more connected feel to their drivetrain.

The sprung hub design is key for a Stage 3 kit like this, balancing the need for higher torque capacity with everyday drivability. SPEC uses well-built materials to ensure this clutch can handle the demands of a performance application, offering improved durability over a standard replacement.

When installing a performance clutch kit like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage, and resurfacing or replacing it is often recommended to ensure proper clutch break-in and performance.
