New clutch cost?

[Jphoenix13]

My 95 S4 clutch pedal is getting a bit long and I suspect it's getting close to the wear limit at 51,000 miles. Any suggestions for a clutch kit (pressure plate, disc and TO bearing) for this year S4?

Intereste in cost, including U.K. sources as I've found parts for my TR6 are less expensive and better quality from the UK these days, even with shipping.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Anything else I should do while I'm in there?

SJSportscars should have everything you need & PUK Esprit also do clutch kits as do PNM.

Thanks John, that's what I needed.

I replaced the rear main seal and pilot bearing while in there.  I also had my flywheel Blanchard Ground, but don't do that unless absolutely needed...

What did the clutch kit cost Travis? I buy most of my parts from JAE, but they don't have prices on their website. Doing the rear main and pilot bush good idea. I expect I'll need to pull the engine out to do it, so likely go after cam followers, seals etc.

 

tempting just to do the whole thing and have the head freshened as well, but I know the machine shop will talk me into the larger S4S valves, etc.

I think it cost about $500 ish back in 2002...

You can always have clutch disk rebuilt or modified using 16 pucks...  (see picture)

and just buy pressure plate and clutch bearing.

Hey Zig,

Any recommendation for a company that does the refurb/upgrade to the worn clutch?

Thanks.

I used Buffalo Clutch Co. as recommended Keny (89esprit ) in previous post (attached below).  

Craig from Buffalo Clutch said that my pressure plate fingers were too worn out to rebuild, but they did use my clutch disk to rebuild it as 16 puck disk.
