What is the main advantage of a sprung clutch disc hub?

A sprung clutch disc hub helps to absorb torsional vibrations and shock loads from the engine and drivetrain. This results in a smoother engagement and can reduce clutch chatter, making the clutch feel more comfortable for daily driving, especially with a performance-oriented setup.

Does this clutch kit include a flywheel?

No, this SPEC Stage 3 Sprung Clutch Kit (SA863S) is designed to be used with a single mass flywheel. The flywheel is sold separately. You will need to ensure you have a compatible single mass flywheel installed on your vehicle.

How does this clutch compare to the stock clutch in terms of feel?

This Stage 3 clutch kit offers increased holding capacity and a firmer pedal feel compared to the stock clutch. While it's designed for manageable engagement, expect a more direct and solid pedal response due to the higher performance components.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1999-2002 Audi S4 or 2000-2003 Audi A6 with the 2.7T engine, and you're running a single mass flywheel, this Stage 3 Sprung Clutch Kit from SPEC is a solid option. This kit is built to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it suitable for modified vehicles that see spirited driving or track use. It's designed to provide a noticeable improvement in holding capacity while still offering a manageable engagement for daily driving, though it will feel firmer than stock.

The Stage 3 kit features a high-performance friction disc with a sprung hub. The sprung hub is important because it helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that comes with a more aggressive clutch, making it more comfortable and less likely to chatter compared to a rigid hub design. This particular kit is specifically designed to work with a single mass flywheel, which is often a modification made when upgrading the clutch system. The clutch disc material is chosen for its durability and ability to withstand higher torque loads. The pressure plate is engineered to provide increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch can effectively transfer power without slipping under demanding conditions.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's designed as a direct replacement for the clutch components, but it requires the use of a single mass flywheel. Ensure your flywheel is in good condition or replaced as part of the installation process. This kit is a significant upgrade for those pushing their 2.7T engine beyond its original specifications, offering a balance of performance and drivability for modified Audi vehicles.
