[s-cars] Indi. Mechs. in KC & stock clutch

[Gabriel Caldwell]

I saw one original clutch go 403,000 kms.  Your results may vary of
course.

Folks,

My brother recently bought a '01 S4 with Audi Assured Warranty.  He is
not a
huge fan of the local dealer that he bought it from, (go figure?)  His
Warranty runs out soon, so, anyone know a good indipendant Audi mechanic
in
the KC metro area (Overland Park specifically)?  One that might be
versed in
aftermarket, gofast parts would be a bonus, but any reputable wrench  in
the
area would help.

Also, all this recent talk of clutches has me thinking.  My 93 S4 has
the
orig. clutch at 177k.  Has anyone seen many more miles from the stock
orig.
clutch?  I don't spend much time in heavy traffic, and I thankfully
don't
live where I'm hampered by such crazy things as too many stop signs or
stop
lights.  Just speculating on how much longer the clutch will last.  I
don't
do high RPM lacunches, and almost always heel/toe my shifts, up and
down, so
I'm not hard on it, but it is only a matter of time.  BTW the car is
fully
stock.

TIA
