Something wrong with your clutch?

Default yea, it's not catching until the VERY last inch, and...

sometimes it slips...it has happenned twice. So i guess i need a new Clutch, but it's gonna cost ALOT just for the parts, and i really don't wanna do the labor.

Default I just had my clutch/flywheel replaced

Yeah, its helluva lot of money and extensive labor. Cost me almost 2 grand, I picked up a really strong clutch because I may put NOS in. Found a used flywheel for 510.00 USD. Good luck. My best piece of advice is have the clutch installed at a gas station, not a specialty store. I already learned that lesson.

Default Could be the hydraulics. Audi clutches are very well built.

How olds the car?

Probably the clutch master, or slave cylinders.

Rare if the clutch disk is bad! Audi over- engineers their clutch's. I raced my Coupe, with its stock clutch, and never wore it out!

The V6 12V has the large clutch, at 240mm.

You'd have to be very abusive to the clutch to wear out the disk!

Clutch was worn from me learning how to drive stick on it, and just normal wear, and the flywheel didn't like burnouts I guess, pretty burnt.
