I have a 96 2.8QM, which I bought used with 31k miles. It now has 45k, and at a stoplight tonight, when it turned green, I tried to start going(not racing or anything), it started moving a little bit (got to about 5mph) but then the rpm's just went up like the clutch was still pushed in, but my foot was all the way off it at that point. I pushed the clutch back in, but it felt rough. The car went after I pushed the clutch back in again, but now it feels REALLY light. Do I need a new clutch? What do you think I am looking at pricewise? Thanks in advance.

No mechanic, but thought I'd try..

Master cylinder failure or low fluid, perhaps?

If it is the whole clutch, it should run you a little more than 1k

Maybe it's your clutch slave cylinder; a few of those have failed on A4's. Hope for this; it';scheap

Slave/clutch/TObearing maybe. Audi pays to 50K.

wrongo, it's over 3 years old... but hopefully Audi will cover part of the repair in good faith

is almost as much as when replacing the clutch, as they still have to remove everything to get to the slave cylinder. If you are going this far, it is usually a good idea to go ahead and spend the extra $$ to replace the whole thing. The labor is the worst part anyway.
