hi guys... its me, problem audi again
what are some signs that a clutch is going bad? i am currently at 107k miles, and am not sure if they ever changed the clutch. 96 audi 2.8
when driven hard, car seems to hesitate for a sec... is that a sign of going clutch? man this car has sooo many problems... and OEM parts are so $$, that i think i might mod my car, just for price sake.
also seems like my car is getting slower and slower..
so with that,
what kind of clutch is a good cheap replacement to stock?
since im doing that, what is a good exhaust that will give me some hp, but not much noise? i dont like the racer exhaust sound...
and since ill do that, what is a good cheap intake for this car? thanks guys...
maybe if i treat the car as a toy, it will last longer and run better. So far, babying it has done notrhing but cost $$$

RE: hi guys... its me, problem audi again
intake: do it yourself
exhaust: personal preferance (but why mod a 12V)
your loss of power: try a fuel system cleaner, and if they havent been done recently, check your plugs/wires
clutch: watch your revs... is this "hesitation" you feel accompanied with your RPM's climbing?
If not, hesitation could be a result of the other things I mentioned... might be helped with plugs/wires.

if you are going down the street say 30mph put it in 5th and floor it. it the tack climbs faster than your speedo then you are looking to buy a new clutch. i got mine from spec ...stage 2 spec

just go to a local custum exhaust shop and thell them what you want
and since ill do that, what is a good cheap intake for this car?
k&n drop in filter is good or you could pick a cheep cone intake off ebay not much power gains form both but 2nd one makes some nice sucking sounds.
thanks guys...
