hard to tell how much is left in the one you have.. but just look for slipping, meaning the rpms start going up and your car goes nowhere...

why? do you think your clutch is going out?

well about 4 months ago (when i took it in for an oil change) they told me i was goin to need a clutch pretty soon. but i dont really trust them, that was the last time i took my car there. (my friend payed almost $2000 trying to fix his car and all they did was throw parts at it and the problem jus kept coming back)

and isn't it bad if you wait until you start slippin?? for flywheel or somethin?

its a 99.5 A4 2.8Q. I'd rather just stick with OEM (unless i find a good deal for an aftermarket one) and i found this one https://www.audiforums.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=116550

what do you think?
