What is included in the SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit?

This kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, a sprung multi-plate clutch disc, and a pilot bearing. These components work together to provide improved torque handling and engagement.

Is this clutch kit suitable for daily driving?

The Stage 2+ clutch is designed for increased torque capacity and performance driving. While the sprung disc helps with engagement, it will have a firmer pedal feel than a stock clutch and may require some adjustment for smooth daily operation.

Do I need to resurface or replace my flywheel when installing this clutch?

It is highly recommended to inspect your flywheel for wear and resurface or replace it if necessary when installing a new clutch kit. This ensures proper clutch engagement and longevity.

About this part

Product Details

This SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, a sprung multi-plate disc, and a pilot bearing. It's built to handle more power and torque than the factory clutch, making it a solid choice for your 1997-2003 Audi A4 1.8T or 1998-2003 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T, especially if you've made engine modifications.

The Stage 2+ disc features a sprung design, which helps absorb drivetrain shock and vibration, leading to a smoother engagement compared to some other performance clutches. The multi-plate design increases the surface area for clamping force, allowing this kit to hold significantly more torque. The pressure plate is engineered for a firm pedal feel and consistent engagement, giving you confidence when you need to put the power down. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your stock clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process. It's a well-built option for drivers looking to upgrade their drivetrain's capacity for spirited driving or modified engine setups.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's a good idea to inspect your flywheel for wear and resurface or replace it if necessary. Also, consider replacing the rear main seal on the engine and the transmission input shaft seal while the transmission is out, as these are common maintenance items that are easily addressed during a clutch job. This SPEC clutch kit is a substantial upgrade for your vehicle's drivetrain.
