I'm the third owner of a 2013 S5 manual that I bought with about 36000 miles on it and now i'm at 49000 after a year and a half of owning it. The clutch has started to slip a bit under hard acceleration at the higher end of the rpm range and a burning smell follows that. I'm not sure how the previous owners drove it but I rev match and don't ride the clutch so hopefully my driving isn't wearing the clutch prematurely. I was just wondering what other peoples' experiences have been? When has anyone else noticed issues with the clutch and at what mileage did you have to have it replaced the first time? Not sure if this is something I should get checked out sooner rather than later, too.
Thanks

I've replaced the clutch on my 2015 MT S5 twice and throwout bearing 3 times now. I'm at just over 30,000 miles... It is highly tuned, and yes I know how to properly drive a manual, but those changes have happened over the past 2 years. I'm beginning to believe something else is causing these failures.
