CGT clutch R&R parts list

[Craig D. Niederst]

I further looked into my '86 CGT tranny/clutch problems today, and its looks
as if it is the clutch that is the problem. Although I have never attempted
to do so before, I am going to do the replacement myself. I have compiled a
list of items from various sources that seem to be logical to replace:

035 141 033 clutch plate
035 141 117Q pressure plate
088 141 165B release bearing
016 141 181 sleeve
046 105 313D needle bearing
855 399 151D rubber tranny mount
016 311 113B sealing washer

I have received quotes on the above items, and the best one has come in at
$185 (Sachs clutch plate and pressure plate), which seems reasonable (Blau
wants $189.95 for just the clutch plate, pressure plate and release
bearing!). Clutch master and slave cylinders appear to be functioning
normally. Did I miss anything? I have looked at the procedure for tranny
removal and clutch replacement, and it seems pretty straightforward. I am
going to have to get the car in the air for better access to the underside.
Ramps are out of the question because you need to pull the driveshafts to
pull the tranny. Putting the car up on jackstands seems the way to go, but
will it provide enough clearance? Also, where is the best place to locate
the jackstands? A part of the procedure mentions "lifting" the front of the
engine, which I guess is to angle the tranny downward to allow for easier
removal. I do not have the Audi tool to do this, so what else would work?
Are their any special tools required for the job (alignment tools, hex head
wrenches, etc)? Any BTDTs greatly appreciated.
