A6 C5 2.7t MT Clutch advice
Hello,
First post. Longtime lurker/Audiist.
Done searches but can't find anything regarding my exact situation.
I've got a 2000 A6 C5 2.7t MT stage 1 APR with 170,000 miles on it. For the better part of a year now the clutch has been on it's way out. I've nursed it long enough and now it's time for replacement. I had considered selling and getting into something different prior to the problem but obviously would not try to sell w/ a bad clutch.
So now that I'll be investing another chunk of cash I figure I'll drive it for a couple more years anyway.
I originally intended to put in the RS4 clutch and flywheel but have swayed myself into looking at the Valeo Single Mass kit. I realize the rating on it is not up to par with the power the car has but my thinking is: I don't do launches and I do not track the car anymore. I am a spirited to "aggressive" driver. I have and indy shop that I trust telling me that the Valeo will be ok but I am having second thoughts.
Anyone with an opinion or experience would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Marc
