[s-cars] Competent Audi Tech, Southern Tier of New York

[Jerry Scott]

I did the clutch in my garage with basic tools.  I used high lift jack 
stands and it wasn't that difficult.  I have a write-up if you need it. You 
will need a transmission jack, but you can rent those almost anywhere.  You 
will save several thousand dollar.  Make sure that you get the right 
pressure plate.  Several have bought the wrong one through Luk.  I would 
suggest taking in the old one to compare, to make sure that you get the 
right one.
Jerry
