Hi,

Recently I got a new clutch installed on my 01 a4 1.8tqm.

The clutch engages at about half the pedal, is this normal? Should it still engage high like the old worn out clutch I had?

Another thing, when I first got it last friday it engaged nicely but now it has a soft release area right after it engages which causes a jerky shift. Is the clutch supposed to act weird as it settles with the new flywheel or should I bring it back?

FYI, a stock clutch + bearing was installed and the flywheel was machined.

Thanks,
Mike

 

I just replaced my clutch too and was also expecting a high engagement on the pedal. It engages at the middle. Certainly nothing to worry about. Give it a few hundred miles to wear in before you start worrying about anything.

 

yup sounds right. as it wears out, it'll keep getting higher

 

you might need to bleed the slave cylinder to get rid of the soft feel
