Default How bad is the clutch replacement on A90TQ

How bad is a clutch job on an audi 90 turbo quat? I have a porsche 924S with that 944 engine so I know timing belts, and how special toolsare needed. Plus the two are family. Is there a depository of info for A90's or online shop manuals?

Forever (or until you run out of gas) as long as you don't have to shift!

If it is making noise it will ultimately fail and there will be nothing to release the pressure plate.

If failure is imminent don't sit at lights or in traffic with the clutch depressed. Put the car in neutral and take your foot off the clutch so it dosen't sit there spinning with a load.

PS always change the T/O bearing when doing the clutch --
