Default Couldn't they call an Audi recycler to find one?

Or even buy a new one from the local dealer...and eBay it when they are done with the prototype?

I understand the need to do things economically, but when customers are waiting for a product, and they are dragging their feet looking for a used flywheel to save a few hundred bucks, they are shooting themselves in the proverbial foot.

Default They are short sighted ______'s...

As a prospective customer, I'm putting two and two together.

1. The review linked by Becker indicates they aren't interested in dealing with problems THEY created.

2. Your experience thus far indicates they aren't interested in investing money to open a door for a product.

In all fairness to them, there probably isn't much demand for performance clutch products for a FWD...but still, it's been three months, and they can't locate a flywheel?!?? Either you'll have to call dad's auto recycling (if you still want to do business with spec), or you'll have to take your business elsewhere (that might be a better idea at this point).
