on a cheaper and better place. I would say CPT, but I had an RS4 clutch installed there on my S4 a couple years back and he charged me $2k, thought it was overpriced. Not to mention it was installed incorrectly. The SAC mechanism wasn't set properly.

Default Tell your buddy to grow a pair and do it himself. First time I did it took 8 hours and $260.
SACM is easy to reset(2 minutes)

Default Where did you buy your RS4 clutch? Many were shipped with bad ...
SAC mechanisms from the supplier. This is not an issue because of CPT, nor is it their fault.

Seems that at least half of the PP's come with the SACM out of whack. Must always be adjusted.
