What commonly happens with the 01E's is the clutch slave is installed incorrectly. The piston goes to the side of the fork and then the piston hits the snap ring in the cylinder. If you press hard enough you will break the snap ring groove and the piston will eject itself from the housing. It's difficult to get the piston lined up properly. I've wrapped the slave in electrical tap several time to keep the piston compressed then install it.
Correct...
RB part# is 01E1411165D
A longer slave push rod (10mm) and a spacer under the fixed pivot of the fork might do the trick.
Otherwise a RB spacer ( I have sketch --as soon as I can figure out how to upload it)
or pm me your mobile phone # and I'll transfer it that way
Thanks Jim Yes, my other TOB is 012141165E. It appears that Audi/VAG have more variations (and I thought they were meant to be the masters of commonality )
If I can't source, I think I will now go down your route and stick an extender on the front.
