Spec 92-94 Audi S4/R / 95-97 S6 Stage 5 Clutch Kit

This is the SPEC Stage 5 Clutch Kit for your 1992-1994 Audi S4/RS4 or 1995-1997 Audi S6. If you've significantly upgraded your engine's power output, especially with forced induction or a larger displacement, this clutch is built to handle the extra stress and put that power down to the wheels reliably. It's designed for vehicles that see a lot of track time or have undergone extensive performance modifications.

The Stage 5 kit features a sprung, multi-plate design. This setup is crucial for managing the extreme torque and horsepower levels that modified engines produce. The sprung hub helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a high-performance clutch, making it a bit more manageable for daily driving than a solid hub design, though it's still a very aggressive setup. The multi-plate configuration increases the surface area for engagement, which is key to handling the heat generated under heavy load and preventing premature wear. This kit includes a performance pressure plate, two high-performance friction discs, and a billet steel flywheel. The billet steel flywheel is a strong, well-built component that is balanced to match the clutch assembly, ensuring smooth operation and durability.

When installing a clutch kit of this caliber, it's important to ensure all mating surfaces are clean and that the flywheel is properly torqued. Given the significant power this clutch is designed to handle, it's often paired with other drivetrain upgrades. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate procedure and any specific hardware or break-in requirements.
