replacement...15 hours labor, with parts...$1800, if they dont need to replace the flywheel. I am pretty sure the pressure plate broke or the throwout bearing is bad. I will check today but I dont think it is the hydraulics or anything like that...so, my plan is to replace it myself in my garage on the lift...RS4 clutch kit...thinking about a LWFW. Opinions?

All of RS4 clutch's have crapped out on people...I'd either get a Clutchmaster 3 or South Bend clutc

Default The RS4 clutch in my Stage 3 didn't last. I have a Southbend now and apparently it's good.
View it here:

read my reply a few posts down...likely that one of the fingers broke on the pressure plate.

Default I beg to differ; the ratio of failures out there still makes the RS4 clutch a great option...
I'm going on 3.5 years of stage 3 power, on a stock RS4 clutch with zero issues. Same can be said for many people here.
