Default maybe you b5 guys can help me

hey guys i have my 2003 3.0 a4 6 spd manual... i hate the manual in this thing the pedal is way too light for my taste, i was sure what it was at first... or if it was just an audi thing... but i drove my friends 2001 s4 last night and that clutch is perfect for whati want... are there any clutch kits that would give my car that sort of feel?

yea, a4 clutches are pretty annoying. It is one of the things I really do not like about the my car, because my clutch has a "stock" feel to it, stifnesswise at least. I really liked my old clutch, had alot of resistance and grabbed much much lower, but also blew in a year.

Not really. Get used to it, or get a stage 2 from Southbend

I'm installing a Southbend stage three clutch on my car this weekend. I ran a SPEC stage three on my last car and it was a piece of ****. Violently grabs on hard launches and felt like a stage 5+++++ when I was driving to and from work/school. I remember going on some long road trips with the SPEC and feeling like someone shot me with a paintball gun in the left lag. Go with Southbend my friend... Smooth and sexy.

The longitudes are pretty soft. The one that comes in the TT is rather stiff and feels like a turbo car should feel like. A stronger pressure plate is deffinatly the way to get a stiffer pedal. But not really worth spending $800+ for just a pedal feel.

I totally agree with spec sucking. Southbend and sachs are the way to go.

my clutch is really light too however upstatenya4(jeremy) clutch is super hard. a stage 2 should do the trick though.
