Re: Audi Clutch alignment



Its all "good intention" to describe a method of installing an "average" clutch assembly.
 
It is however a wholely different matter when you get specific and describe an Audi clutch R&R!
 
Audi clutch jobs have their very own quirks, difficulties, and methodology, found on no other car, but an Audi!
(occasional similar VW) 
 
It has been my experience, with most Front Wheel Drive, and 4 wheel drive vehicles, the clutch is
"No small feat"  Namely due to the design specifics inherent with these "specific" types of vehicle.
 
On the Coupe's and 4KQ's, unless you have the gearbox "PERFECTLY" aligned, it WILL NOT ( Audi Gods say NO!) 
go together, period! BTDT.
 
Even utilizing the "clutch alignment tool", (which IS required for an Audi), you will still encounter a few small
difficulties to overcome!  
 
That and the damn gearbox weighs a ton!
 
Audi + Gearbox= no easy job!
