Default Tranny or Clutch slip when i step on it.
Ok, I have a 1997 A4 2.8 Quattro Manual. Whenever I step on it, I feel a slight slip and I'm not sure what it is. Possibly the clutch, possibly the tranny. The car has about 188K on it. It only happens when I really step on it, during normal driving it's perfectly fine. Any ideas?

Default Put the car in third gear and let out the clutch....
if the car does not stall out, replace the clutch. 188K? Not bad, I am hoping for another 20k out of mine.

every 30K?!?!? Do you launch it from 5K revs at every light?

hehe 5k launches at every light, you'd be lucky if your clutch survived 300 miles.
