Fwd: [s-cars] UrS4 Clutch Master Cylinder R&R How-to

[Mike Claire]

Sorry if this is a duplicate message.  I don't see this email being posted.


It happened.  Right at the bottom of my street with my wife and 3 kids
in the car the clutch rod snapped.  Should I feel as though the Audi
gods let me off easy?  I was on the way home anyway - just a couple of
matched rev shifts and it was in the driveway.

Fred - can I get that writeup?  Or does somebody else have it?
