2003 Audi RS6 V8 BITURBO - meth injection - epl custom dyno tune - custom downpipes & exhaust - wagner ICs - hybrid turbos - Hyperboost diverter valves - turbo timer - IPT torque converter - kw v3 coilovers - Hotchkis Sport Sway bars - DPE S15 19x9.5 wheels My mods since I purchased the vehicle are Wagner intercoolers and 18" Enkei wheels. I made the RS6SPEED badge just for fun on the water jet. The next big thing is a 6 speed manual transmission. below is a few photos of parts I have purchased for the big swap. Now I must decide on a clutch which I have not even put much thought into yet. I call this a build thread but just to be clear I do very little work on my own due to my lack of time, tools and most importantly automotive technical knowledge. šŸ™‚ Steve K. is doing the transmission swap in Pittsburgh. (He makes the adaptor kit.) Props to Innovative and SPAM for work done to sort out the car after purchase. Edit: My photography skills arenā€™t great either.šŸ™‚ ---

So does anyone have any advice on which clutch I should purchase? The car has lots of torque so it needs to be stout but I want shifts to be somewhat civilized if possible. Something like this? > **[Clutch Kit - Stage 3](https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assembled-by-ecs-parts/clutch-kit-stage-3/b5s4cmck/)** > > More holding power & a Kevlar lined disc ---

Does a 2.7 clutch work on a 4.2? Call South Bend. Tell them your situation and power goals. They will make a recommendation. ---

Ya i would go south bend, and yes the trans/clutch combo is the same for a 4.2 or a 2.7 Ive tossed around a manual A8 šŸ˜› But ill wait till I get to practice on Justins RS6 first. Im watching this thread with great anticipation. šŸ™‚ ---
