I'm wondering what a new clutch would generally cost and about how many miles do they go out?

 

not really mile dependent more on how it is driven...i spent around 900 on my spec stage 2+ with billet steel flywheel....also think of install cost which averages around 600-900 depending of local labor rates...i was quoted 800 for labor so i decided to do-it-myself...took awhile but worth me saving the cash

 

i had my clutch replaced recently. I go with the one in Ecstuning, stage 1.
I found a local shop that works on audis to put it on for me. they charged me 700 for labor.

 

also it will cost more if u have the quattro version for labor

 

about how hard is it to do? same as tb?

 

I heard harder than TB. I did TB and it wasn't that bad, just annoying. I wouldn't want to do the clutch...

 

the timing belt is harder than the clutch IMO only reason being its harder to mess up doing a clutch than it is doing the timing belt....i had no problems untill i had to get the new belt back on and correctly but i know the secret that help me.....WATERPUMP TRICK worked twice
