| 6 or 12 point Torx drives are required for almost anything these days, but still a useful warning for some people. (those who don't own Torx driive sets yet). |

| I've got torx and splines. Apparently a tool for getting the clutch centred is extremely useful. I thought new clutches came with these for lining up. I found a couple of write ups VWvortex Forums: DIY - MKIV VR6 Transmission Removal / Clutch Replacement Clutch change procedure G60 and DMF flywheels - TDIClub Forums Sounds like a big job - up to 12 hours if its the first time you've done it! |

| Hello folks! I've had a local Audi mechanic offer to do this job as a homer for a very reasonable £150. I just want to be sure that its definitely the DMF so had a couple more symptoms to ask about. When pulling a trailer (about 350kg) away from stand still the judder gets MUCH worse. There is a definite loss of power across the whole rev range when accelerating. Do both these point to DMF? |
