Default Any suggestions on a stronger clutch than the RS4 clutch..

I've got the full APR stage 3 kit installed and had the RS4 clutch and pressure plate installed at the same time. The clutch has been working great, but now seems to be slipping. Any suggestions on other clutches available would be appreciated. Thanks

Mine has slipped once or twice also. Try Stratmosphere stage 3 clutch.

Default Is it really slipping? Describe what you are experiencing...

Don't know if Clutchmaster makes one for the Audi, but they are very good clutches.

Default Our stage III clutch, Handles stage III power easily, Lets put it this way....

Four guys in the car (each about 200 pounds) our stage III S4 on race gas, it can rip the tires loose off the line. Great, driveable pedal feel also.

Default how much is the stage 3 clutch?

is that the one listed at $549 on your site? if so then I should have bought that instead of the RS4 clutch for $10 more.

Default I have a Werks of Art stage 2 clutch

and Rob Fox's former APR stage 3 RS4 conversion also had this clutch. I like it a lot - grabby yet driveable. Email jmendoza1 at msn.com

Default on my apr stage III WERKS OF ART STAGE II clutch is perfect

it takes a long time to brake it in, approx. 2000 miles, but hey it's worth the money--- no rs4 clutch can handle close to 500 lb of pure torque (was designed for 280 lb of torque). It has better fell than the stock. try it, lots of audi s4 guys in chicago area have this setup, and they are very happy, so AM I.
