Brian-

IIRC (and I don't always)...  if your car is the black S4 sedan w/ PA
tags and A6 4.2 wheels (or similar) @ //SFest...  I recall parking yours
and noting your clutch wasn't long for this world.  Pedal pressure was
exorbitantly high...  highest in the mmmmmm 50+ //S cars I've probably
clutched over these years, uh oh.  Usually a consequence of worn
pressure plate springs I believe.  

Point is, sorry man/dood, busted pedal clevis is likely the best of your
woes right now.  Hope I'm off here...  as er I'm reaaaaly sure your
hydraulic system needs a peek too...  brake pedal was bucking into my
foot and was rock hard, with idiot light aglow.  Those that are
suffering busted clevises I'm guessing might have stiffer than normal
clutches maybe?

That really is kinda a neat sidebenny of parking all's you's fool's when
you come here to sunny CT...  I really do get a broad sampling of wide
degrees of the ranges these cars can iterate.  Nearly no 2 are the same
in tactile inputs...  smells, shifter/clutch/brake/steering/seat
cushioning/etc. stiffness all are dramatically different in one car to
another.  Even signal stalks.  Some can feel like entirely different
cars, and that's just parking them let alone flogging.

Anwayz...  good luck Brian, hopefully I have the wrong car!  Thooooo, it
was ***someones*** car that day, d'oh, good luck to 'you'.  There were
certainly a handful of smellybadclutchbaker cars present this past year,
that grassy slope there is the litmus test to any clutch 8-) (THE
"//$lippery //$lope"???)...
