1989 Audi 90 Q thrust bearing.

[Anthony Attard <ACA@nrc.gov>]

Good morning Audi fans.

I have a couple of questions that I hope some one on the list could help me with.   

1.  I may have to replace the clutch thrust bearing on my 89 Audi 90 Q, so I was
wondering if there is anyone on the list that has replaced a clutch on a quattro. 
How difficult it is, or is there  something I should watch out for, or simply have the
job done by somebody else.

2.  Also, did the model 80 and 90 quattros have trouble with their starter motors??
The clutch bearing noise I am hearing could be the gear at the end of the starter
has come loose and it is touching the ring gear.   I would real appreciate some
feedback.   Thanks all .  Your suggestion/hints are truly appreciated.
