Hello All...

I have a wierd problem with the clutch on my A4. The car has done 81k 96' and the clutch doesnt seem to disengage correctly all the time. For example, my clutch bite point is near the top of the pedal movement, this is where the clutch bites 85% of the time. But sometimes as I release the clutch it bites almost right at the bottom of the pedal movement - it seems to engage and the car start moving slowly making a smooth release impossible (if I am stationary - the only time I notice it) then I relase the pedal completely and the bite relaeases as normal. This problem becomes terrible in heavy traffic as the bit does this every other press......do I have a worn clutch or is this a hydraulic issue or something like that?


any ideas?

Thanks

Brian

esp if it's biting at different letout points... as in it's not engaging all the way at one point, and it's totally releasing on another.

BTW, you in europe? Never heard of a '96 1.8T before in teh states... or is that build date?

I clutch uses that to run the slave cylinder? I remember hearing people say that the clutch and the brakes share fluid, just was never sure how.

It's located just above and attached to, the clutch pedal.

Yup. And IMO it's a biotch to replace.
