WTF!!!! Odd thing with Clutch

[andru1313]

Ok... I really need some advice here... My car has been at the Mechanic for over 2 weeks. I bought a new VAST STG 3 clutch cause my car would not go into gear.. Everyone told me the clutch was shot. Current clutch in the Car is an RS4 clutch with Vast Flywheel. has about 20k on it.

My Mechanic has been really backed up so the car has been sitting.. So today he finally is going to begin work on it.. He puts the car in Gear, Starts it up, Starts to pull it up on the lift and POP!!! loud pop noise from around the lower end by the firewall. Car is now driving fine..

What should I do? Do I still replace the clutch? Do I drive the car until this goes again? I am really could use some insight Thanks...

how are your motor mounts and transmission mounts? sounds like something was tweaked and then it 'settled'.

they are solid.. NO issues there. This was something more than something being out of whack. I mean the thing just went. I felt a vibration in the pedal when it went. I am really torn on whether i should just go ahead with the install or not. Labor will be a grand. New clutch is paid for.

a GRAND to remove and reinstall the trans? That's a little high - I paid $550.
