South Bend / DXD Racing Clutch 2008+ Audi S4/S5 3.0L Stage 3 Daily Clutch Kit (w/ FW)

K70619F-SS-O

We are pleased to present South Bend / DXD clutches for your B8 Audi S4/S5 3.0T. DXD clutches are developed and tested by DXD across many different friction products, pressure plate loads and flywheel designs with one goal in mind, to create clutch systems not only with perfect balance and symmetry but also to perfectly complement engine modifications without compromise in reliability, drivability or enjoyment.

The success of the development efforts has produced a performance clutch product line of the highest quality and performance available for Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, DXD Racing clutches.

Each clutch system is specially matched to specific driving styles, uses and power levels to insure the needs of each client are accomplished. Often times, a compromise between drivability and pedal feel must be made to achieve power handling. If you are drag racing you will have different requirements for clutch operation than someone who wishes to participate in daily spirited driving or endurance racing.

Each DXD Racing clutch is offered in either a Daily, Endurance or Drag configuration to accomplish the power handling needed for your car.

NOTE: Photos used for reference only! Actual product may vary. *Only STAGE 3 clutch kits come with DXD Racing flywheel.

Daily
The Daily configuration is focused around an OEM pedal feel and initial engagement characteristics. This is the clutch that wont give you a significantly stronger left leg but will provide many thousands of miles of ease of use and operation with the ability to transfer different Stages of engine performance to the tires. The quick engagement of most aftermarket clutches or the "grab" is greatly reduced and in most cases completely eliminated to allow for smooth clutch release and easy initial acceleration.

Features:
* Heavy Duty To Provide Extra Towing Capacity and Longer Life
* Increased Clamp Load from Upgraded Pressure Plate
* Dual Dampened Clutch Disc to Promote Smoother Engagement and Increase Transmission Life
* Premium Friction Material to Promote Rapid Heat Dissipation
* Recommended for Spirited and Daily Driving

The DXD Racing Stage 2 Clutch Upgrade is perfect for those who modified their engines to Stage 2 and Stage 2+ power levels. Offered in specific configurations of Daily, Endurance or Drag, the DXD Stage 2 is perfectly matched to your driving style and your specific use. Each Stage 2 Clutch is engineered to specifically support engine modification with increased clamp load and different material choices across the individual Stage 2 configurations. Each configuration includes all of the benefits of a DXD Racing Stage 1 Clutch Upgrade but also includes additional benefits specific to each.

An SFI approved single mass flywheel is recommended for this application to get optimal performance.

Race Engineered Pressure Plates (SS) used in Stage III clutch kits

These performance clutches deliver more transmittable torque and stability, longer life and superior thermal resistance. They also deliver noticeably better dynamics through higher clamp load when driving the vehicle to its limits.
Stage III Endurance with FLYWHEEL & h/w included
This clutch package is designed for high HP vehicles desiring a start performance similar to O.E. The pressure plate is Race Engineered (SS) and SFI approved with significant load increase over stage 1 or 2 pressure plates (+600-800 lbs.). Expect a pedal effort increase of 20%-25%. Discs are assembled with heat-treated wear resistant hubs; drive plates and springs for high load transfer and dependable operation. The sprung centers on the disc, in conjunction with the marcel fin between the linings, create a dual dampening effect that simulates O.E. start performance. The disc is designed for the special needs of a vehicle with circuit racing in mind. Kevlar friction material is used for its unique static to dynamic ratios of friction coefficients at high energy levels. This translates to a perfect transition from one gear to the next. Discs are assembled with only performance components and equipped with torsion springs functioning as a damper between engine and gearbox. Recommend usages are Rally, Endurance Race, Clubsport, Autocross, Street and Daily.

Flywheel Features
* Only STAGE 3 ENDURANCE clutch kits come with DXD Racing flywheel and new pressure plate and flywheel bolts. All other are to be used with the OEM Flywheel

Flywheels manufactured by DXD are made from low carbon, hot rolled steel that is highly resistant to warping and perfectly suited for the friction materials mated to them. Single mount CNC machining guarantees precise tolerances and perfect balance exceeding O.E. specifications. Extensive field-testing has been done to determine the proper weight for each specific vehicle and to ensure smooth operation, safety and durability under extreme operating conditions.
