BR Motorsport did mine last August because the rear crankshaft seal had gone.
At around 125k, it had plenty of wear left but I had it changed because of the
hideous expense of dismantling an ur-quattro's transmission.
Brian commented that they have to warn people about new clutches, otherwise
they're likely to strain themselves when the pedal flies away from them.
