Audi UrS4 Clutch Replacement, by Chad Toblin amended by Jerry Scott, 5-09, Rev 3 Part 1: I’ve gotten a few requests for a write up on this so here is part 1. More episodes to follow. This procedure is for doing an S4 clutch change with the car on the ground elevated on jack stands. This write up is not intended as a substitute for the Bentley service manual. Parts: Clutch kit ( Clutch disk, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot needle bearing and alignment tool with splines ) . Other parts: CV joint gaskets (dealer only $4ea.) and 6 bolts with nuts to replace the ones from the downpipe to the cats. Optional parts: Rear crankshaft seal, trans input shaft seal, driveshaft flange seals. All of these are a piece of cake with the trans out so now’s the time! 1) Loosening the bolts: First off remove the exhaust, middle cross member and heat shield. (Also you should remove the exhaust mounts from the bottom of the trans. This will prevent damage to the mounts later by the trans. jack. - JS) I left the down pipe in place. Probably be easier with it out. There are 9 (I found there to be 11 bolts, including the two long starter bolts. - JS) different kinds of bolts on the bell housing. You need to mark them and where they go. (Mark a number on the bolt head and mark the same number on the bell housing. Since there are a lot of extra holes in the bell housing, this will prevent confusion when reassembling -JS.) The Bentley has a diagram but it’s easier if they’re marked. I bought a 4 dollar organizer at Lowes to put all the parts in as I took them off and marked them. If you’re doing this on the ground you need to jack up the tail of the trans to get to the 2 bottom bolts that are blocked by the sub-frame. The starter is held in by the bell housing bolts as well. Just prop it somewhere out of the way. (I hope you disconnected the battery!) 2) Driveshafts: Remove the cover under the passenger
