2006 A4 Clutch Replacement
A 2006 Audi A4 Avant came in with a slipping clutch that eventually failed completely, causing the pedal to fall to the floor. We removed the transmission and replaced the clutch, flywheel, and crankshaft seal with OEM parts.
- Clutch friction material fibers were visible falling from the bellhousing before disassembly even began, pointing to total clutch disc failure. The pressure plate self-adjusting mechanism had also run out completely.
- The transmission bellhousing was packed with debris and required thorough cleaning before reassembly could take place. The clutch disc had lost a large portion of its friction material.
- After replacing the clutch and flywheel with OEM parts and fitting a new crankshaft seal, the clutch pedal felt like new. A slipping clutch is a clear sign replacement is needed right away.

This 2006 Audi A4 Avant had a slipping clutch before it stopped completely and the pedal fell to the floor. We could tell immediately by the clutch friction material fibers falling out of the bellhousing that the clutch had completely come apart. We proceeded to remove the transmission to find the clutch disc had lost a good portion of its friction material. The clutch and flywheel were replaced with OEM parts and the bellhousing was cleaned of debris,and a new crankshaft seal was fitted for good measure. After reassembly, the clutch pedal felt like new again.
