Help! - Clutch Release Bearing

[viperbl]

I had a Sachs paddle clutch and flywheel fitted a few months back.

The spacer had to be taken out around between the gearbox/engine and bolts cut down in size to fit. All seemed to be fine except when trying to disengage, it would take just a fraction longer than it should to disengage.

Since I have had to remove the engine again we have had a look at the release bearing, its the plastic(!??!?!) one that audi produce and you can see dents in it that the clutch has made ...

Two things ...

1) I think it I got a thicker one it might disengage a little more to fix that problem?

2) Does anyone know of a metal one or something a little more substantial? I don't want to stick another plastic one in again, it seems a weak point especially since its a heavier clutch now...

034 do a metal faced one. I have one but I haven't had it fitted yet. According to AW it should be OK.

Cheers mate ... Just spoke to Doug, he is trying to source me one ...

Will it fit my RS4 setup? At worst if I can't source one by next week would you consider selling me yours and I will order a replacement from 034 for you????
