What is the main benefit of a Stage 2+ clutch kit over a stock clutch?

A Stage 2+ clutch kit, like this SPEC SA863H, is designed to handle significantly more torque and horsepower than a factory clutch. This makes it suitable for vehicles that have undergone engine modifications to increase power output.

Does this SPEC clutch kit come with everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the essential components: a pressure plate, a high-performance clutch disc, and a release bearing. It is recommended to inspect and service the flywheel during installation, as it is not always included in clutch kits.

How does the sprung hub design affect driving feel?

The sprung hub in the clutch disc helps to dampen vibrations and shock loads from the engine and drivetrain. This generally results in a smoother engagement and a more comfortable driving experience on the street compared to a solid hub clutch.

About this part

Product Details

SPEC is known for making well-built drivetrain components, and this Stage 2+ clutch kit is a prime example for your 2001-2005 Audi Allroad Quattro with the 2.7L engine. If you're looking to handle more power than the stock clutch can manage, whether from engine modifications or just wanting a more robust setup, this kit is designed to step up to the challenge. It’s a popular choice for drivers who have already made some performance upgrades and need a clutch that can keep up.

This Stage 2+ kit features a high-performance friction material that offers a significant increase in holding capacity compared to a stock clutch. It’s paired with a sprung hub design, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch, making it more streetable than a solid hub setup. The kit includes a pressure plate, a high-performance clutch disc, and a release bearing, giving you the essential components needed for a comprehensive clutch replacement. SPEC designs these kits to provide a solid engagement feel while still being manageable for daily driving, though some adjustment in driving style may be needed compared to a factory clutch.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition, either resurfaced or replaced, to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. This kit is a direct fit for the specified Audi S4, RS4, and A6 Quattro models from the early 2000s, as well as the Volkswagen Passat from 2003-2004 with the 2.7L twin-turbo engine. It's a solid option for anyone pushing their vehicle's performance envelope and needing a clutch that won't let them down.
