Clutch Masters 00-04 Audi A6 725 PRO Series Twin Disc Clutch w/Steel Flywheel
Clutch Masters part number 02029PTD7RS is a 725 PRO Series twin disc clutch with a steel flywheel for the 2000 through 2004 Audi A6. It is meant for the C5 A6 owner who has turned up the boost on the 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6, swapped turbos or built the car for the strip, and now has a stock-type clutch that flares rpm on every hard gear change. If you are shopping for a mild street clutch, this is not it. This is a compact, race-focused multi-disc unit that trades some street manners for holding power and fast, positive release.
Audi rated the 2.7-liter biturbo at 250 PS and 350 Nm in stock form, and tuned cars make a lot more torque than that through a clutch that was sized for the factory number. A twin disc puts two friction discs and a floater plate inside one cover, so clamp load acts on twice the surface without growing the diameter. The 725 is a 7.25 inch (184 mm) unit, small and light, which is why Clutch Masters describes the 725 platform as built for drag racing first and occasional street driving second.
The PRO version changes the parts that wear out on the older design. Clutch Masters replaced the six aluminum posts that hold the pressure plate together with twelve heat-treated 4140 steel stands and a 12-point nut and stud mount, because high power made the aluminum posts flex. The discs now ride on a single driven hub rather than separate splined hubs, which makes alignment easier and keeps full contact on the input shaft splines. The PTD7R stage in this part number is the Twin Race setup with two rigid ceramic discs, and the S at the end means the kit ships with the steel flywheel instead of aluminum.
Do a slip check in fourth or fifth from low rpm at full throttle; if the tach climbs ahead of road speed, the clutch is slipping. Rule out the hydraulic side first: a weeping slave cylinder, a soft pedal or a pedal that will not return all the way can keep a good clutch partly released. Look for oil from the rear main seal on the bellhousing too, because oil on new discs ruins them fast. Then think about how the car is really used. A rigid ceramic twin disc is loud and abrupt in traffic, and the 850 Strapped Series kit or the FX400 8-puck single disc will suit a driven-daily A6 better. Our manual versus automatic repair cost guide covers what the labor side of a clutch job tends to run.
The listing covers the 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 Audi A6 with a manual transmission. Clutch Masters' other A6 kits for these years are listed for the 2.7-liter A6 and A6 quattro, which is the twin-turbo car most owners are building, so confirm your car is a manual 2.7T before ordering. Automatic and CVT cars cannot use it. If you are not sure what engine or gearbox your car has, send us the year and the last 7 of the VIN and we will check it. More clutch and flywheel options are in our rebuild kits department.

Usually not. The 725 PRO with two rigid ceramic discs is a drag and track clutch. It works on the street but it is abrupt and can be noisy. A strapped twin disc or a single disc performance clutch is the better pick for daily use.
PTD7R is the 725 PRO Twin Race stage with two ceramic rigid discs. The S suffix means the kit is paired with a steel flywheel rather than an aluminum one.
No. A twin disc cover is built around its own flywheel, and this kit includes the Clutch Masters steel flywheel for that reason.
No. It is for A6 models with a manual transmission. Automatic and multitronic CVT cars do not use a clutch of this type.
A steel flywheel carries more rotating mass than aluminum, which helps the car pull away more smoothly and holds up well to heat. Clutch Masters machines its twin disc steel flywheels from 1045 billet steel.
