Audi TT MK1 Quattro Clutch Change Guide

This is a long video, because its a long job! Typically its an all day job- i can trim it down to 6 hours but i've done it countless times, and that's only if there's no issues along the way. If yore tackling this for the first time, it's well worth investing half an hour in seeing how it's done properly.
Changing the clutch on the Audi TT Quattro is a big job because of how much you have to remove to get access. the transfer box makes it a bit of a pig! Garages charge a lot of money for this job - i charge a fair amount aswell as its the biggest job barring engine removal that i undertake.
**This video will potentially save you a few hundred quid, and took me an extra couple of hours on the initial job, as well as a few hours editing to be able to help you save money, so please, if this does help you out, consider dropping me a few £££ to say thanks - link below.**
Take your time, make sure you've got everything you need before you start, and get stuck in. Good luck!

You really keep it simple!! After watching your video, I pretty much think that I do it myself!! I was shifting from 2nd to 3rd and the gears ground a bit. I felt something come loose. Probably the gear fork. I lost everything but third gear. The transmission is stuck in third gear. I limped home in third gear. So, hopefully I take the gear box out and inspect it and hopefully I'm not too much in the woods!

Hello:) Great video. I'm using it to change my rear main seal. Last thing I need to do after eight months of work rebuilding almost the entire engine and fixing every detail on the car after water pump failed and eight bent valves. 2001 TT quattro 4WD. The only thing left that I need is the extra long 8"+ 6mm allen key for the passenger side drive shaft bolt that is way in there... I have the other one out, and everything detached from everything. Except the two upper bolts of the gearbox, and the 6mm bolt in the center of the passenger side driveshaft. Question is, do I NEED to remove that passenger side 6mm interior drive shaft bolt? Or once I remove everything from the seam holding the engine together at the intermediate plate, where I can see the rear main seal, can I just start lowering it all as one piece? I have the prop shaft to the side, everything separated. Do you need to even deal with the flywheel? Can't I just lower the gearbox, transmission, two ends of the cv axle shaft and everything, with the flywheel and clutch inside of it, as one single piece, to see and access, and change the rear main seal?? lol, Thanks. My brain hurts:)

@BWSTT 2 жыл бұрын

So, you can keep the transfer box mated to thr gearbox (leave the 6mm bolt in and the 4 bolts holding it on) it just becomes trickier. The rear main seal sits behind the flywheel, so youll need to fully remove gearbox and clutch.

@darrenweber3308 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tutorial and all the tips and tricks! I couldn't help buy notice you not saying anything about doing the rear main seal while you're in there. Was this in a separate video that I've missed? I'm about to be doing a power build on my TT Quattro Roadster with a BEA engine. I'll be switching to a Clutch Masters 01M6SPDSTG3CK kit which is marketed as "stage 3". I'm also pairing it with a Clutch Masters FW017AL 14lb single pound flywheel. I'm aware that I cannot count of this flywheel to absorb vibration like the stock dual mass does, and I'll learn to control that as I get used to the new setup. I'm also aware that adding power increases vibration. To counter this, I'll be upgrading the stock harmonic damper to a Fluidampr, which uses viscous silicon and all kinds of engineering to absorb extra vibration caused by removing the stock dual mass flywheel and adding power. This Fluidampr adds about 1lb to the harmonic damper, which means my 14lb flywheel will effectively become a 15lb flywheel. That being said, it's still a lot lighter than stock.

Amazing detail on this - you're a champ! My 225 Quattro is about to need a clutch job too, so I'm already saving for the bill. I was wondering if you'd ever recommend a lightweight flywheel, or "Stage 1-2" clutches on these cars (and whether they're significantly affect comfort as far as noise, stiffness of pedal, etc.) - I'm running stock internals and an APR tune, and though theoretically I'm pulling about 275 horsepower and 275 lb.ft of torque at the crank, I very much doubt the real values are anywhere near that, and I don't foresee myself putting enough money into the car that it'd ever go over the 320 wheel horsepower range. Thank you for all the great videos - tutorials like this are an absolute lifesaver!

@BWSTT 2 жыл бұрын

Sometimes you have to agree with the saying “if it aint broke, dont fix it”. With that seal, ive taken off boxes at 200,000 miles that are perfectly sealed still, so they are pretty good. They tend to go if you get shaft play, but at that point you’ve got other things to worry about before changing the seal. I got it online a few years back, a few manufacturers make them I use the m18 Milwaukee and it is perfect for 99% of what i do, but that 1% is fixed with a nice big bar
