Clutch conundrum

[Charles.waite]

You must have misread it. All of the 1.8t's (5 speed and 6 speed) came with a 228mm clutch/flywheel. As for the 6 speed and 240mm clutch, it must have been talking about the B7 A4 2.0T which uses the same transmission as the late B6 A4 1.8t with the 6 speed.

Alright so i checked the bentley when I got home and in fact I was right, at least about them saying its a 240mm clutch:
02X Trans:


01E & 01X:


01A:


Anyway not trying to start an argument, and Mike, I know you deal with a LOT of clutches so I just want to confirm that the Bentley is wrong. My Trans code is GJW so its definitely a 02X.

Clutch/flywheel are part of the engine not the transmission. The 058/06A come with a 228mm clutch/flywheel, the 06B comes with a 240mm. So on the A4 1.8t the transmission code has nothing to do with the clutch/flywheel. I think that might be where the confusion might be when it comes to the Bentley since it is mixing the clutch info in with the transmission info.

Good to know! So im guessing the CM 240mm flywheel included in the FX100-300 etc kits uses a billet flywheel?

Yes, the CM 240mm FX100-FX400 all come with a steel flywheel. The test CM 240mm kit came with a billet aluminum flywheel, but after that 1 it has been nothing but billet steel since it is better for a daily driver.
