is your guys engagement point really small like have 2 inch of engagement point and yes i know the clutch lets out high let me know what yours is

 

the ones i test drive did the same

 

Yes, because it doesn't take much to release the disk on the stock clutch setup. It just doesn't have much pre-load.

 

thanks i was just wondering and i will be buying a clutch from you soon i dont like the stock clutch

 

My last car was a 99 Camaro Z28 manual. You could actually feel that the clutch pedal was attached to something and it started working pretty much right off the floor. IMO all manuals should be like that. Any of the aftermarket clutches for A4s fix it to be like that?

 

Yes. The South Bend SS clutch kits I sell has that feel and engages very low to the floor. I too feel that a good clutch is one that has some resistance and feel at the pedal. Clutch Masters will also make me their clutch kits that way too, but the small down side to having it catch that low is that the clutch can tend to have some chatter as you are trying to engage the clutch from a stop. This is mainly all done by changing the pivot point, basically changing the leverage. More pre-load also means it takes more pedal movement to release the disk.


My custom dual diaphram clutch I used to run was so stiff that it felt like using a 100 lbs leg press.

 

haha my 1993 cobra i loved the clutch on it you could feel it and it would release a little befor the middle it was perfect

 

yeah see i would love to have that i love heavy clutches they feel better to me

 

yeah i like the heavy clutches more manly like =] instead of a ***** clutch

 

Then your best choice would be a South Bend OFE Stage 4 or a custom Clutch Masters.


The Clutch Masters FX850 twin plate I run has a very nice pedal feel and engagement that is just below mid way up. I am working with CM on a single FX850.
