Type-44: HELP! Seeking good Audi mechanic in NYC/NJ Metro Area.

[William Ng]

What a way to spend the new year! BAH!

I think the Clutch decided to go through its death throws last night while
driving from Atlantic City back to NYC. The clutch pedal would pulsate
heavily while attempting to shift...and my 200q shook as the clutch hooked
up. I also hear a faint screaching during idle.
(Could broken engine/tranny mounts cause a pulsing clutch pedal??)

Fortunately, I managed to get back with my wife and guests. But it's
highly doubtful that the Audi will get us home in Boston! So, I'm stuck
with 2.5 days left before departure, to get the car fixed.
X-P

It's too cold and too involved a job for me to dream of doing at this
point. Do any NYC/NJ listers know of a trusty and good Audi mechanic that
they can recommend? My 200q is currently in Staten Island, and I think I
can limp her to a shop within a 25-mile radius(maybe).

It's uncanny how after successfully fixing one thing, another happens to
break just a few days later! Earlier this week I replaced my buzzy Bosch
fuel pump with a new Pierburg unit, outdoors in 17*F . Turned out my
mounting needed the 3214 tool. But I figured out a way to mount it without
the 3214, and the job was relatively straightforward. I didn't get to
enjoy it for more than 2 days then this sh*t happens.
It's always something with these cars.

Thanks in advance!
Will
