[s-cars] Issue with replacing clutch on 95 S6

[Jerry Scott]

Elvis
When I did my clutch this Summer,  I first took it out, then took it to the 
Clutch Doctor here in Denver.  They matched it to part number 02-025, but 
said that the computer had a different number.  It is also very important to 
put the disc in the correct way. The shorter splines go toward the flywheel 
and the longer ones go toward the clutch.  You may have had this reversed 
which may have also caused the problem. If you need my write-up let me know. 
It is an addition to Chad Tobin's write-up.
