[s-cars] UrS6 Monday morning clutch woes...

[Peter Schulz]

Sharing my morning...hope your's has gone better.

Patient...1995.5 S6 Avant, 175k miles, MTM1+

I left house this morning for some important meetings in the office.

Drove onto the on ramp to the highway. 
Trouble started when accelerating onto the high way, went to put transmission into 5th gear.
Depressed clutch, shifter didnt want to move into 5th...or any gear.

pumped clutch, finally got it into 4th, drove to exit.
Got it out of 4th, turned off car, put into 1st started car in gear....
Combination of pumping clutch and rev matching got it home, swapped cars (nice to have a spare or two when owning an older audi (see my sig)
Car is sitting in driveway, sitting in neutral...can't put transmission into reverse.

Figuring out what I'm going to do....thinking its a clutch job, likely to do slave at same time..
I'm capable of doing this, but without a lift,  and never having done one, likely going to have the work done.

Looking to stay with a stock level/grade clutch.

Appreciate any BTDTs, BTDDT (Been there dont do that) , etc..

Hope your Monday is going better.

ps> it's my Birthday today, not sure what my car is trying to tell me ;-)
