only certain places will do it so you might have to ship it out

If oil has leaked on it(ie from the RMS) or it has hot spots or cracking , you might want to consider replacing it. If it does not have any of the above mentioned items, just clean it up and reinstall.
Considering the labor it takes to drop a gearbox on a quattro, I generally replace them. Then again , I like the car to drive and feel absolutely like new. Nothing worse then going to all that effort and having a clutch shudder , only to do the job all over again.

Default quick question: 2.8 = dual mass FW?

I was hoping I can put a 2.8 clutch kit on my chipped 1.8... but it might not have the same bolt pattern (anyone know?)
