Default That is 'listed' in the write up

"Before you start

If you are planning on using your stock flywheel, find a place in your area that can resurface it. Since our cars use dual mass flywheels very few shops can resurface them. It took me 3 days on the phone to finally track down a shop within driving distance that could do it.

Default Oops.. Missed that.

I just scanned the procedure and I expected the R&R of the flywheel after step #31 followed by a torque specification for the bolts.

Default Looks good...

obviously, there are a few different ways to do it, I left the slave cylinder in, the line is pretty easy to remove, just pop the clip down, and the line pulls right out.

If you do it this way, just make sure that you put the line all the way in, or it will pop out on you when you try and take it for a test drive. BTDT

Oh yeah, the RPM sensor is in the engine block for the 1.8Ts, so we don't have to worry about that. I think the V6 has it mounted on the trans (I haven't confirmed this though)

Default I did not.
