    Flywheel and Clutch Advice Requested

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a 2018 A4 Quattro with 6MT. The factory clutch has been OK at stock power level, although it has lost some smoothness over the 47K miles I have driven it. Considering adding a Neuspeed Power Module, and I assume the factory clutch will not live with the extra torque. Looking around online, I see that many performance clutch kits for this application convert the flywheel from dual-mass to single. But, South Bend has a clutch kit which can take significantly more than factory torque while still using a (different) dual-mass flywheel. What has been the experience with this particular kit been? Any drawbacks to retaining the dual-mass style flywheel?

    There is nothing wrong with a dual-mass...they are typically more "friendly" than a single mass. They absorb more shock so you will not experience the vibrations that a single mass will transmit through the cabin while idling at a stop light with the AC on. I am not familiar with the South Bend application for the B9 but they make good stuff.
