The mechanic told me $450 for a new clutch, but I know I can find it cheaper (where?). Can anybody help me, **** the search button. 98 A4 2.8 Quattro Sports package.

 

These guys are reliabile and offer a good selection of clutches

450 for parts and labor on a clutch is pretty good. i bet its warrantied as well.

 

What are we talking about here? $450 for new clutch, new clutch and new flywheel or resurfaced flywheel? Is that with labor or just parts?

If its $450 installed for clutch and flywheel, jump all over it. You may find a better price on just parts, but the question is, even if you get it cheaper, will the guy install if for you if you buy it. A lot of shops won't deal with installing parts that you buy yourself. Some people will buy the wrong stuff and shops don't want to deal with being in the middle of a job and hitting a brick wall because you ordered the wrong kit or something.

Anyway, you need to be more specific. What exactly are you getting for $450.

 

OKay im getting my old 2.8 engine swapped into the new A4 body I bought, which has no engine. so in doing this, the mechanic asked me if i wanted to replace the clutch since it hasnt been changed at all. So its not like he wants 450 for the clutch job, its just alot easier since im taking the engine out. So, it should be cheaper, since the main purpose is to swap the engine not a clutch job. oh and im talking about a clutch kit.

 

and I almost forgot, that link for the ebay clutch, its only 295 for a stage 3 racing clutch? does it mattter if its a racing clutch or not?
