Default a4s have a hydraulic clutch that share the same fluid resevoir as the brakes.

super blue is known to cause wierd clutch problems.

Default In light of your discussion the other day regarding ME's, and their

inherent ability to make better sense of the mechanicals in a car...

How does the type of brake fluid correlate to a vibration in the pedal similar to what he has described?

(I studied Biology so don't ask me)

Default Mine does the same thing, but not just slightly. Been talking to ECS about it for a while..

Brian was supposed to email me back about it about 3 weeks ago, still no word from him.
