Clutch Masters 10-17 Audi S4/S5 3.0L B8 Steel Flywheel
Clutch Masters FW-060-SF is a lightweight steel flywheel for the B8 Audi S4 and S5 with the six-speed manual. Most buyers find it because the clutch has started to chatter or slip, the gearbox is coming out, and the original flywheel is worn, heat-spotted or noisy enough that reusing it would be a gamble. Others want a flywheel that sheds some weight but stays quieter and more street friendly than aluminum. Clutch Masters builds this one to OE specifications, so it works with a factory clutch or with a Clutch Masters single disc kit.
The flywheel is the rear friction face the clutch disc clamps against, and the mass that carries the crankshaft through each firing pulse. In a supercharged 3.0 TFSI car it also has to absorb a lot of heat when the clutch is slipped on launches or in traffic. Clutch Masters machines its steel flywheels on in-house CNC lathes from 1045 steel billet cores, zero balances each one, and finishes it with a black oxide coating for rust protection. Steel keeps more mass and heat capacity than an aluminum wheel, which is why it idles and creeps more smoothly and makes less gear rattle on the street. You still get crisper rev response than a heavy stock unit, without the harshness of the lightest options.
If you want the lightest possible setup for a track car, the FW-060-AL aluminum flywheel is the alternative for the same cars, at the cost of more noise.
Slip and chatter are clutch-system symptoms, so start by proving where the fault is. Do a slip test in third gear from low rpm at full throttle and watch whether the tach climbs faster than road speed; our transmission slipping diagnosis guide walks through it, and shift flare vs slip helps rule out other drivetrain behavior. Check the hydraulics too: a weak slave or air in the line can keep the clutch from fully releasing and feels like a mechanical problem. Final confirmation comes with the transmission out, when you can see the friction face and check runout. Because the labor is the big cost on a B8, most shops replace the flywheel any time the clutch is done.
Our listing covers the Audi S4 and S5 from 2010-2017. Clutch Masters lists FW-060-SF for the 2010-2017 Audi S4 3.0L B8 supercharged, the 2010-2017 Audi S5 3.0L B8 supercharged, and the 2008-2012 Audi S5 4.2L B8. It is a manual-transmission part. Cars with the 7-speed S tronic need the separate DSG steel flywheel FW-060AM-DSF-16. Because the S5 changed engines across the B8 run and some cars have had transmission swaps, send us your year and VIN, or match the engine and gearbox codes, before ordering. More clutch and drivetrain parts are in our rebuild kits category.

No. It is for manual-transmission cars. B8 S4 models with the 7-speed S tronic use the separate Clutch Masters FW-060AM-DSF-16 DSG steel flywheel.
Yes. Clutch Masters says it is built to OE specs to work with the factory OEM clutch or a Clutch Masters clutch kit.
Steel. It keeps more mass, so idle, creeping in traffic and gear rattle are closer to stock. Aluminum revs faster but is noisier and better suited to track cars.
Clutch Masters lists FW-060-SF for the 2008-2012 Audi S5 4.2L B8 as well as the 3.0L supercharged S4 and S5. Send us your VIN if you want us to confirm before ordering.
The clutch disc and pressure plate, flywheel bolts, and the release bearing if it is worn. Bleed the clutch hydraulics with fresh brake fluid afterward.
Clutch Masters asks for at least 500 miles of normal stop-and-go driving with no full-throttle shifts or compression braking before hard use.
