Clutch?
so I have to replace the clutch on my 1998 Audi A4 2.8l 5 speed. looking to just flip this car and was wondering if anyone knows anything about Ebay clutchs/do I need to do the flywheel to or can I just do the clutch? just looking for a clutch so I can sell this one so I can start working on my A4 1.8l

An indy Audi shop in town here (he's a friend of mine) tells me no one in town here resurfaces dual mass flywheels. Not true where you live MetalMan?

I just replaced mine last week. Best practice is to convert to a single mass clutch & flywheel (both new). It's a cheaper and easier setup (that's what I did).
Either way: I wouldn't risk reusing/resurfacing an old (dual mass) flywheel. It could end up costing you much more. I've never met a expert who says it's a good idea.
Check eBay. You can get single mass, high quality HD clutch & flywheel pairs for pretty damn cheap.

Some clutch companies like Southbend and Clutch Masters will resurface OE flywheels, but beyond that I dunno.

1.8T and 2.8 both come with dual mass flywheels from the factory. Since the 1.8T has a larger selection of clutches/flywheels, many people choose to convert to a single mass flywheel to avoid potential problems with the stock (expensive) dual mass flywheel.
