Default Test drove an 00 S4 yest....felt a little chatter in the clutch as it was coming up-

is this normal? The car was REAL clean and came with audi 2 yr 100,000 mile warranty but the clutch made me nervous. Plus they were asking top dollar for the car. The clutch was not slipping, just chatterin as it came up from the floor. Thx

Not normal. I don't know what might be wrong though.

Default I had the same issue. They ended up replacing the pressure plate, clutch plate, flywheel, and

slave cylinder. When I asked what the issue was they said the flywheel had grooves worn in it,so they just put in a new clutch while they were in there. They also said that there was some corrosion on the slave cylinder (like some sort of acid was dripping on it), but in both cases they couldn't find what caused the problem.
