Poll : Stage 3 or above, what's your Clutch ? Street drivability ?

VR_Life · 06-01-2006, 08:07 AM

Researching options to replace the original clutch (now 200K mi) on my UrS4 - anyone using SPEC Stage 3 anymore ?

DAP@EPL · 06-01-2006, 08:12 AM

Its holding up fine under pump gas power, even after ~50k miles of use. On race gas launches, I smelled a little burnt clutch, but it launched well (spun all 4 tires through 1st on dry pavement).

Going to the drag strip next week so I'll see how it holds up there.

If I need to upgrade, I'll be deciding between a Clutchmaster Stage 3 and an RS4 pressure plate with a segmented kevlar disc.

It's shutters when moving from a stop, but otherwise drives without any issues. And it holds like crazy while DAP's clutch is smoking :P

If I were buying again, I would look closer at ClutchMasters, hoping to get the hold at the dragstrip without the shutter from a stop.

All broken in and it's great for street drivability. __________________ -Ron, CT Are you on Xbox LIVE? Don't spend enough time with the folks here at AudiWorld?
