Default will this clutch fit?

Fourtitude.com - Audi A4 2000 Clutch kit single mass for sell.

just looking for some confirmation here. I am looking to change out my clutch because it slipped today when i hit the gas in 5th gear. Wasnt too bad but it will def need to be replaced in the next month or so.

Will this fit? It came from a 2000 1.8tqm - mine is a 2001 1.8tqm

thoughts?

I think all yrs of the 1.8tqm clutches are interchangeable.

^This. I haven't heard anything to the contrary yet. Not a bad price either. You might ask him how many miles he ran that clutch on his stage 3 setup though.

FWD clutches are the same as well. In fact that's the same clutch setup in my car right now.

Yes all of the A4 1.8t 5 speed and 6 speed use the same clutch kit.

The A4 uses a 228mm flywheel/clutch, the S4 uses a 240mm flywheel/clutch. Only way that clutch will work on a 1.8t is with a custom flywheel that is designed for a 240mm clutch instead of the stock 228mm size the A4 uses. So it wont work on your stock flywheel or even your aftermarket 228mm flywheel.

Only flywheel that will work on is the ECS RA4 flywheel which is thin and very light. Wont work on the Clutch Masters 240mm flywheel since the LUK pressure plate is too tall.

Sure didn't since A4 clutch stuff is what I deal with every day as the owner of Ringer Racing.
