bit bummed out. Just got a call from the dealer and they said that was why the clutch pedal is becoming increasingly stiff. Upgrade now to RS4 clutch or oem? Do the Flywheel at same time?

Default I did it through AWE when I did mine and they shipped it right ot agincourt autohaus. Very happy

so far. The dealer did my install, and they said the parts were good, and it was shipped to them really quickly.

Which dealer in T.O. are you going to?

Default I needed a new clutch too and they quoted me the same thing. But I brought them my own parts with

the lightweight flywheel for just a little more.

If you don't get it installed at the dealer, I am sure that contact I gave you a while back for your shortshifter, the porsche mechanic can do it too. So maybe ask him for a quote also.

Nope. That's what was great about getting it sent to the dealer.

Default Ok,so you just told AWE just to mail it there, that's it?

No, "Mark the package as Warranty Repair"?

Anything else?
