I've been trying to find a good deal on just the 
<BR>&gt;&gt;flywheel for that <BR>&gt;&gt; application and 
they're not cheap. I haven't found <BR>&gt;&gt;it for less 
than $600 <BR>&gt;&gt; yet. <BR>&gt;&gt; <BR>&gt;&gt; I've 
heard a few different figures, but the most 
<BR>&gt;&gt;common is "79" when it <BR>&gt;&gt; comes to 
how many 5-speed V8Qs were brought into <BR>&gt;&gt;the 
US. <BR>&gt;&gt; <BR>&gt;&gt; With rarity comes high 
prices in the world of Audi. <BR>&gt;&gt; <BR>&gt;&gt;

<BR>&gt;&gt; <BR>&gt;&gt; $2500 ?!?!?!? parts and labor or 
just parts? please <BR>&gt;&gt;tell me it's not 
<BR>&gt;&gt; just parts.. <BR>&gt;&gt; <BR>&gt;&gt; please 
don't go to the dealer for that. find a good 
<BR>&gt;&gt;local indy and <BR>&gt;&gt; have them do it. 
the parts shouldn't be any more <BR>&gt;&gt;than 'regular' 
audi <BR>&gt;&gt; bits - especially with the popularity of 
that motor <BR>&gt;&gt;as a swap. <BR>&gt;&gt; 
<BR>&gt;&gt; mailorder parts can lower cost significantly, 
but i <BR>&gt;&gt;can't imagine it <BR>&gt;&gt; should 
cost more than 1500 or so parts + labor. 
<BR>&gt;&gt;that's a pretty <BR>&gt;&gt; expensive clutch 
job. <BR>&gt;&gt; <BR>&gt;&gt; alas i've never had a v8 so 
maybe there's a gold <BR>&gt;&gt;lined flywheel in 
<BR>&gt;&gt; there i dont' know about. =) <BR>&gt;&gt;
