034Motorsport Flywheel Insert for Audi ABZ Engines

What Once Was, Now Is Again.

034Tradition is about keeping vintage Audis on the road by bringing back the parts enthusiasts need most. That means reviving discontinued 034Motorsport performance products, as well as reproducing OEM-style components that have become No Longer Available (NLA) and are increasingly difficult to source. When a part is needed and simply can't be found, we're working to bring it back.

Brought back by request from the Audi community, the 034Motorsport Flywheel Insert for Audi ABZ engines is a purpose-built solution that was originally developed for V8 engine conversions and automatic-to-manual swaps, and is now available again through 034Tradition.

The Flywheel Insert is designed to install directly into a compatible late-model ABZ automatic flex plate, utilizing the factory flex plate's integrated starter ring gear and 60-2 tone wheel. CNC-machined from 6061 billet aluminum, the insert features a steel friction surface and clutch mounting provisions, providing a purpose-built solution for adapting the factory ABZ flex plate to a manual transmission setup while retaining the tone wheel and ring gear required for factory Motronic or standalone engine management.

The Flywheel Insert is designed for use with UrS4/S6 clutch kits and 01A and 01E transmissions, and can be used with all 10-bolt V8 engines. In order to function, the ABZ insert requires being installed with a factory ABZ Flexplate. With the ABZ flex plate installed, the complete assembly weighs approximately 15 lbs.

Important Fitment Notes:

• Designed for use with late-model ABZ flex plates with an outer ring height of approximately 7mm. Earlier flex plates with a 10mm+ step will require modification.
• When using a factory Motronic ECU, the VR sensor must be relocated to the same position used with the automatic transmission. This differs from the sensor location on factory manual-transmission 60-2 flywheels.
• Due to variations between quattro transmission bellhousings, minor clearance to some of the internal ribbing may be required for the taller clutch basket assembly used with this setup.
