Which Clutch Choice - 2000 A4 1.8t Manual Quattro

kgardnez · 05-09-2006, 07:08 PM

Well I've done all of the searching I could prior to posting this, and I just can't seem to come to a conclusion.

1. What torque will the stock clutch handle?
2. What will it take to handle the ~250 ft/lbs once I chip the car?
2. Are the S4 or RS4 clutches drop in on the 1.8T?
3. How to avoid getting a "grabby" kevlar clutch to handle additional torque?

Thanks!

If all I planned to do was to chip my B5 A4TQM, I would stick with a stock clutch. As you are probably aware, performance cltuches can handle a significant amount of additional torque (in most cases for less or the same $) but significantly affect driveability.

S4 and RS4 run different engines, so not sure of clutch/drive train compatability with our macines anyway...
