Audi RS5 - 2011-2015 - 4.2L V8 32v FSI with S TRONIC DSG | FW-060AM-DSF-16| Clutch Kit
Description
Taking our experience developing flywheels for hundreds of applications over
the years, we have came up with a solution for the Audi S TRONIC DSG that
allows users to maintain the comfort factor achieved by having a dampened hub
but also incorporating the benefits found using a lightened flywheel. The OEM
dual-mass flywheel is a 24lb chunk of cast iron versus our flywheel that
weighs in at 16lbs for our street/strip version. 13lb version and extra light
10lb version also available upon request.
Reducing the rotating mass of the flywheel allows increased throttle response
as well as freeing up lost power. On cars making significant power, ditching
the dual-mass flywheel is a must as they can be prone to failure.
Other lightweight flywheels on the market for the Audi DSG utilize a solid,
rigid hub that can induce rattling and pass other harmful engine harmonics and
vibrations through to your transmission. Our sprung hub allows those harmonics
and shock passing through the drivetrain to be dampened similar to the OE
dual-mass. Not only does this equate to a smoother, quitter driving
experience, but the sprung hub can also help extend the life of your
transmission and the precious components inside.
The concept is very similar to all of our sprung hub manual clutch discs, but
instead of a dampened disc, we now dampen the flywheel itself.
Unlike the way OE manufacturers typically approach manufacturing a dampened or
dual mass flywheel using overly complicated springs, bearings, and rubber
bushings, our approach is straight forward and simple using our heavy duty
springs found in our high performance clutch discs that have been proven to
take a beating while also maintaining reliability.
