I would be grateful if anybody would share their experiences of Mr. Clutch, good or bad. My stepson put his Audi A6 in for a replacement clutch, having been quoted ?350 for the job. Unfortunately, once the gearbox was removed the price rose to ?1000 as it supposedly needs an new flywheel as well. When he related this story to friends at the local rugby club, he was told by several people "Oh, that's normal- Mr.Clutch are always doing that - you never get the job done for the original quoted price", and that they wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. Does it seem likely that he is being shafted? After all, an extra ?650 for supply and fit (6 bolts?) a new flywheel seems a little on the high side to me - I know original German parts are always ridiculously expensive but that seems to be ripping the arse out of it. Any replies, helpful, sarcastic or even downright abusive gratefully received!
