What is the main advantage of a multi-plate clutch design?

A multi-plate clutch increases the total friction surface area compared to a single-plate design. This allows it to handle significantly more torque and dissipate heat more effectively, which is crucial for performance applications.

Does this clutch kit include a flywheel?

This SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit (Part# SA862) includes the pressure plate and clutch disc. A flywheel is not included and may need to be resurfaced or replaced separately.

What is the recommended break-in procedure for this clutch?

SPEC recommends a break-in period to ensure proper mating of the clutch surfaces. Typically, this involves a series of gentle accelerations and decelerations without hard launches or excessive slipping. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions included with the kit for the most accurate procedure.

About this part

Product Details

The SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit for your 2.7L Audi S4, RS4, or Allroad Quattro is built with a sprung, multi-plate design, offering a significant upgrade over stock for vehicles that see more demanding use. This setup is engineered to handle the higher torque output that comes with performance modifications, ensuring your drivetrain can put that power down effectively without slipping. If you're pushing your 2.7L twin-turbo engine beyond its factory limits, this clutch kit is designed to keep up.

This kit includes a high-performance pressure plate and a multi-plate clutch disc featuring a sprung hub. The sprung design helps absorb drivetrain shock and vibration, making it more manageable for daily driving than a solid hub setup, while still providing the clamping force needed for performance applications. SPEC uses well-built materials throughout, aiming for a balance between aggressive performance and reasonable drivability. The multi-plate design increases the surface area for engagement, which is key to handling increased torque and heat generated during spirited driving or track use.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is resurfaced or replaced to provide a clean and flat mating surface for the new clutch components. Proper break-in is also crucial for the longevity and performance of the clutch; follow SPEC's recommended procedure, typically involving a series of gentle accelerations and decelerations. This kit is a solid option for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their drivetrain's capability to match engine performance enhancements.
