Yes and no. What about the springs internal to the flywheel?
Posted by: 4Driver4 (569) on 2015-05-11 15:05:46 In Reply to: Replacing the FW or not depends on the condition of the friction surface. posted by ThetaTau87 on 2015-05-11 13:27:30	Share \| Report

These flywheels used to be about $1k each, which gave me pause. But now they are down to around $350 which, given the level of effort required to remove the trans, is money I will spend without complaining. My clutch with new flywheel and slave is like buttah.

    - I've never experienced or heard of a DMFW wearing out. - ThetaTau87 2015-05-12 10:09:37 (186 views)
      - I agree. But who knows when that internal magic will stop? - 4Driver4 2015-05-12 19:13:28 (179 views)

- I just did the clutch in our 2000 A4 at 215k miles. Do the flywheel too. And the slave cylinder. - 4Driver4 2015-05-10 07:46:23 (221 views)
  - Not for me. - kwatro 2015-05-10 11:37:05 (233 views)
    - No...but the slave is cheap, and labor is basically zero to install now. - 4Driver4 2015-05-10 22:10:06 (198 views)

        Mine made the clutch act bonky and then fail to engage - JonD-2.7tDallas 2015-05-12 20:24:58 (167 views)
  - Really? - kwatro 2015-05-09 22:21:20 (237 views)
    - I'm with bernie on this one. Even 147k is pretty low mileage for a 4k clutch to go. - 520 2015-05-11 16:17:34 (202 views)
      - Well doctor... - kwatro 2015-05-11 21:17:43 (222 views)

    - Some body or something wore yours out prematurely, before broken in. I`ve run several >300K, - berniebenz 2015-05-09 22:30:50 (215 views)
      - Good. Hopefully I'll get that much out of the new one. - kwatro 2015-05-09 23:13:06 (200 views)
