Question RS4 Cluth on b5 A4?

I am currently parting out a B5 S4 and I have a relatively new RS4 clutch installed on it and I was wondering if it would be possible to use this on a 1999 A4. They are both Quattro and MT. I have seen a RS4 clutch for sale but it had slight alterations in it to make it fit a A4. Any info is greatly appreciated thank you.

The only way to make it work is to use a custom flywheel, ECS and Spec both make that flywheel but tend to only sell it in their full kit.

Little info for you.
S4 uses a 01E transmission and a 240mm clutch setup
A4 uses a 01A transmission, the 1.8t uses a 224mm clutch setup


S4/RS4 pressure plate is cut for a flywheel that is perfectly flat, while the A4 flywheels have a lip for the pressure plate to sit on. There is way less room between the A4 block and the 01A bell housing then there is in the 01E S4 transmission.

I am sure there would be, but you need to get the height exactly right or you will have an issue with the slave.
