Well, you ought to be very pleased to know that if they make it for
the 4 cyl, 8v A3's then they make them for our 16v's. :)  The 2L A3's
share input shaft size (larger) with the AGB/2Y 16v transaxles.  Hence,
any clutch that fits those cars, also fits ours.  This is why the nicer
2L 16v clutch has been discontinued (superceeded) by the somewhat
wimpier 2L A3 clutch.  Get them while they last!
