Default Yah, either way I think it's time to ditch the RS4. Babied it for 30K mi. Southbend OFE or FE

I'd go with Vast or ASP but I have to get it installed. KMD Tuning is nearby and they sell Southbend. I like having a shop install what they sell as they are more likely to stand behind their work. We'll see what they quote for labor

Did you still have an OEM flywheel sitting around you were looking to sell? I've had mine resurfaced once (lightly). Don't know if it will take another.

BTW, if you were really sorry, you'd come up to my place and replace it :-p

Default Yea, RS4 PP's do that...

I killed one of every variant, including the southbend OFE: I got 5 launches out of it and 4000mi It was fun having to match shifts on the 50mi drive back from Atco :/

Now I have the segmented CM4 and it's pretty darn nice.

Yep, I do have the unabused stock FW from my Avant. It looks cherry: Shoot me an Email.

Mine had the same problem, it was the throwout bearing and slave cylinder.

Default I am going throught the EXACT same thing at this very moment...

So far I've bled the system, replaced the slave, inspected the master. I just received a new clutch kit and plan to rip it apart this weekend to see what's going on exactly.
