Yep, clutch slave cylinder failed and leaked fluid into clutch and flywheel making them useless. So, clutch, flywheel, throwout bearing, and slave cylinder have to all be replaced. Aftermarket warranty will not pay for clutch components since they are wear parts.

Audi dealer quoted $3700.

Having TT towed to my tuner shop and will get work done for 1/2 the price. Still expensive.

What flywheel and clutch should I use?

Default They actually have been very good, and just paid for new fuel senders today....

And, I am trying to understand why not payment for the clutch issue when I have bumper to bumper and it is not specifically stated in the "What is Not Covered" section.

This one is not over yet.

Default I would fight it...>

After all, you had a component failure that is not technically a "wear" item...

Default Did you get a lightened flywheel? If not, were you able to reuse the existing ..

flywheel with the South Bend setup? Did you have to resurface it?
