Default Spec stage 3????

I just bought a used spec 3 off a member here, and am about to install, and hopefully have my car driving in next month. I'm new to manual tranny's so I get to skip over the learning curve, and I have SO MUCH to learn about manuals. I'm converting A4 to M6 btw. So anyways, if my clutch burns out, can it be rebuilt by trans shop or something or am I S-O-L and have to buy a new clutch if something goes wrong?

For the record nothing is wrong as of right now, just curious.

Not really you will need a new clutch disc (pad) not the whole kit again (Pressure Plate, Flywheel, & disc)....just the disc, Unless you want to up/down grade...

Yes that is correct..you can get it re-pucked. Re-pucking for a Spec 3 is $79 via Spec.
