4kq stranded me

[Aaron Sherrick]

The title says it all.  In my 5 years of ownership this is the only time
(save my one accident) that the car has left me stranded.  I had been
noticing that my clutch pedal would stick about half way from the floor
after a shift.  This didn't happen consistently, but it did happen several
times and then go away.  So today I'm driving and this starts happening.
Then I go to shift and clutch pedal stays on the floor.  I had to pull it
out with my hand.  This continues for a few shifts and then finally the car
refuses to shift into gear.  With the clutch pedal on the floor the clutch
was still partially engaged, so that explains why I couldn't shift.  The
police came and stopped traffic for me.  Then I turned the car off, got the
car into first gear, and then started the car up (with the clutch pedal on
the floor).  It immediately started bucking, so I gave it gas and got the
car across the street into a parking lot.  I then had the car taken away on
a rollback.  By the way, why is it bad to toe a Quattro?  I thought I
remembered someone saying about how it ruins the rear differential.
