Lance,
You need a clutch alignment tool as well. Little plastic black round thing with splines on it and a big circle on the other side.

I have never seen a clutch kit that did not include one of those, but good call.. If yer gona DIY then make sure it does come with one..

I'm assuming thats something that can be purchased at a parts store, ala Checker, etc.

Like locks was saying almost all kits come with it, but don't forget to ask.

I have my clutch tool... not sure if it would work on a later car like an A4/S4 though

Almost certain they are vehicle specific.

I have a high quality metal one that you guys can use.  It has the interchangeabl e heads that are specific to the application.  I just have to dig it out of my toolbox... which is buried deep in my storage unit.  

If I have to do my clutch again, I'm paying someone to do it.  I'll do everything else myself, but not that job.  Not again.

Not trying to shoot any or all DIY hope out there, but I was talking with an audi tech (an old string) and he said this is a 15 hour job in the shop, with a lift...

But I don't hang out with him casually so he could just be spooning shit in my mouth.

Nah, i dont doubt it, Thats pretty much why i'm getting raped by the shops, they're all charging approx 15 hours of labor.  As to whether it really takes that long or not, who knows.  Like i said though, i would fully understand if any of you are not comfortable with and/or simply dont want to invest the time,  i wouldnt blame you at all.  Its obviously none of your responsibility or even obligations to help me out with that.  Given that, if anyone does help out with it, i would obviously be very happy ;-).

If you want an honest opinion about how long it really takes by a professional give Randy a call at Autobahn Premier Service, he wont bullshit you. I'm not saying you need to use him, but I stated in my earlier post that it is a pretty brutal job.

I am always for DIY if you can, and you can, but if you haven't done it, and no one else helping has either, I would not count on having it done in a weekend.

Yeah, there is no way i would ever do this on my own.  I own pretty much 0 tools, no jack's etc.  That, and i really kind of got turned off on working on cars after owning the jeep.  Anywhoo.

I still see no reason why this couldn't be a group event.

God forbid you guys did something as a group that's car related  

Not to mention it would save Lance a good chunk of money

no shits
