[s-cars] Clutch Replacement

Mon Feb 1 10:49:15 PST 2010

 I would expect the same.  When I was shipped my first Centerforce kit (from Summit) it came with a clutch disc that had the wrong spline for the input shaft on my transmission (a '93).  They obviously don't have a high demand for these, and are prone to errors.

If anyone can cough up a real difference, do tell... but I sure don't know of any.

I'm not aware of any changes to the FW or the transmission shaft
dimensions in 93 - so I would expect that Luk put the wrong PP in their
kit, rather than a change was made by Audi?

The Luk kit just had the wrong PP- there weren't any changes I'm aware  
of. The PPs are very different if you compare them side by side.
