Clutch – Audi R8 R-Tronic
The clutch for the Audi R8’s R-Tronic transmission is designed to transmit engine torque to the gearbox and to disengage power flow during gear changes. It works in combination with the hydraulic release system to enable smooth and precise shifting in the automated transmission. Wear or failure typically leads to clutch slippage, juddering, or incomplete engagement, often noticeable through shifting irregularities or warning messages. This is an original Valeo replacement part, produced by the same manufacturer group that supplies Audi with those components.
