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

[mike claire]

Robby, if these cars are like my S4, I think you'll discover that
metal fatigue caused either the clutch master cylinder or the clutch
pedal itself to break.

I could drive it by matching revs and letting the shifter decide when
to slip into the next gear. I started it in 1st a few times - I hated
doing that.

Replacing the clutch master on an S4 isn't a hard job if you don't
mind working with your head next to the brake pedal and your feet out
the sunroof (for about an hour)

I bailed and brought it to my local mechanic (non-Audi). He took a
look and laughed me out of the garage. I fixed it. I bought an
exact-match OEM replacement from German Auto Parts in upstate NY, it
was cheap.
