DL501 R Series R15 Clutch Pack Upgrade

The JHM DL501 R Series R15 Clutch Pack Upgrade is engineered to significantly enhance the torque handling capacity and overall performance of your Audi's DL501 7-speed transmission. This comprehensive upgrade package replaces the stock clutch discs with an increased count of 15, up from the 3.0t engine's stock of 11 and the 4.0t engine's stock of 13. This allows the transmission to reliably handle torque levels ranging from 850 to 900 ft-lbs. For optimal results and to ensure the clutch's longevity, JHM strongly recommends pairing this upgrade with a JHM TCU tune or any other TCU tune that increases the clamp pressure. Achieving the maximum torque holding capacity requires software modifications that raise the clamping pressure to 20+ bar. This is crucial for minimizing clutch slip and preventing overheating. The kit includes essential components for a complete installation, such as a new front cover seal (PN 0B5311113F) and a cover o-ring (PN 0B5323525B). This clutch upgrade is specifically designed for use with clutch basket part numbers 0B5141030E or 0B5141030F, which feature a 103mm - 81 tooth oil pump gear. It is important to verify your vehicle's clutch basket configuration; if you have the B8 RS4-RS5 clutch basket (PN 0B5141030G) with a 96mm - 75 tooth oil pump gear, the JHM-0B5141030G-R15 clutch upgrade should be purchased instead. Installation requires adaptation for clutch kiss points once the transmission reaches 40°C, following factory procedures. Genuine OEM clutch baskets are utilized in JHM products for quality and compatibility, though JHM does not offer a specific warranty on the clutch baskets themselves. This product is intended for off-road use only.
