Re: [VWoT] A4 Clutch job + Happy NY

[Andy and Sarah Moore <andymoore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's going to be "fun" I tell ya. I did find a transmission jack adapter at princess auto that should make the job bit easier. Trouble is my jack stands are too low for the jack, tranny adapter and transmission to slide under the car, so I have to put the transmission on the jack under the car, then lift it into place.

Going to be an interesting afternoon (headed out to the garage now).

Also discovered that Parts Source has a pilot bearing puller as part of their loaner tool program. Such a slick tool. Worked like a charm.
