Hi folks,

I'm in the middle of getting my clutch replaced, I'm helping to do it at my mates garage, got the box off and my flywheel and slave cylinder are both knacked.

The flywheel has 110mm play in the cush assembly, standard tolerance is 10mm so I need a new 'un.

I am putting a RS4 clutch assembly in, so can I use an RS4 slave cylinder?

Anyone in UK with a lightened flywheel in stock?

I can get a new standard flywheel monday afternoon but would prefer a lightened one if I could get it in the same timeframeish.

You don't have to change the slave cylinder, it is the same in S4.

Ok thanks for that okkim.

Does anyone know if I could leave the existing flywheel in with that play and the new RS4 clutch, the engine is coming out for turbos etc within 1000miles, when I will replace the flywheel with a lightened version, I need the car for work and need to work to pay if you see what I mean

If you don't push the car hard, the old FW will be fine if it has working ok before that. Especially when you have so little time to wait for proper one.

I have a light weight fidanza one available immediately, where are you?

I think that the Fidanza is good FW, I have installed many of those.

110mm play, what that all about. where are these measurements taken.

It is the rotary movement of the internal drive plate on the "shock absorber" assembly when rotated against the outer part of the flywheel.

The new one I have when you apply a rotary motion on this part, there is minimum movement, on the old one there is 110mm+ rotary movement with feeling of something catching internally.

Audi tolerance is 10mm>

cool.... where are the instructions- specifications for this, Bentley workshop manual? im looking for a good manual for the boat... they are not really talked about much.

I could tell something was up with the flywheel when we inspected it, so a quick call to Audi was made.

Is it from side to side 10mm, or from the center?

come on guys.... where are the super workshop manuals on these things....
