ACT Clutch Install: 2000-2002 Audi S4 (B5) and 2000-2006 Audi A6 (C5) 2.7L 

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks Robert! We appreciate your encouragement!

On B5 A4/S4 (and C5 A6) the stock system is always a higher release/bite point of the clutch pedal. The further you have to push on the clutch to disengage it, and smoother it engages when letting it go, the more worn the clutch is and pressure plate. A brand new one has a high release point (about 3 to 4 inchs of pushing down on the clutch pedal) and you need to let it go nicely cause they are bitey with a strong stock clutch.

Glad you liked it!

With the 2.7t petrol engine, the loaders are in the way, the video here is great nonsense, so it goes to a normal A6 Yes

We believe the correct term for this clip is either a “clutch release arm leaf spring” or a “clutch release arm spring” and they should be available from an Audi dealership or maybe even a European vehicle specialty parts company such as ECS Tuning.

@@AdvancedClutchTechnology I ended up finding mine. Thank you for the info!

@AdvancedClutchTechnology would there be any reason I couldn't run the car without this piece? The bolt snapped off in the transmission and I've tried everything with no luck

@@skylerwilmot2906 We would not recommend installing the transmission without installing the release arm spring. It serves two purposes. 1 - it secures the release arm to the pivot and 2 - it helps returns the release arm/release bearing to the proper position when the clutch is disengaged. Without it, you stand the chance of the release arm/bearing not returning to the proper position causing increased wear on the guide tube or release bearing itself or even worse the release arm coming off the pivot which would then cause the clutch to become completely inoperable. Not to mention the possibility for damage to the slave cylinder, clutch or even the transmission itself. Our recommendation, if you have tried everything, would be to take your transmission to either a transmission shop or an automotive machine shop and have them extract the broken bolt and repair the threads if needed.

The 2.8 A4 and this car are quite similar to each other.

@@AdvancedClutchTechnology thank you

This is neither an A6 or an S6. S6 C5 has a 4.2 belt motor, not a 2.7t by the way. This is a B5 S4 in the video. If you have an A6 C5, or an Allroad that were optioned with the 2.7t and manual trans, then this video works quite similar to both.

Our shop hours listed by the program we use is 13.9 hours. This is for complete clutch and flywheel removal and installation.

@@AdvancedClutchTechnology Thanks!

2.7t engines in American B5 S4s are all APB code. You have APB and BEL that were in C5 A6 and Allroads, and then you have the AZR that was in the B5 RS4.

It honestly depends on what the shop charges you..

Well I called around $1k seems to be the cheapest for a A6 $2.2k is what one wanted and I just hung up

Tory! We apologize somehow we did not get a prompt on this question. It does depend on the shop. All Data shows this install to take 13.9 hours. So this will help you if you take an average of labor per hour in your area.
