OMG I HATE this F'ing car!!!!!

[David G]

Sounds like the clutch is stuck disengauged, never been able to drive one 
that way.
Strangest problem I have seen on an audi, was clutch stuck disengauged, but 
petal stuck up, could not depress unless hyd. opened.

Found the clutch fork had worn through where the rod pushes, rod stuck in 
hole, rod pushed on side of slave piston instead of center and cocked the 
piston sideways.

Question is "is the clutch engauged or disengauged.
Likely just needs a master and/or slave if engauged.
