clutch return spring - 90q20v

["Grant Lenahan" <glenahan@notes.cc.bellcore.com>]

Hello assembled audi wisdom (regrettably, wisdom comes with experience:-))

This weekend, two fiber parts and much broken spring debris
rained down on my left foot.  Upon examination, this stuff appears to
have been, once, the return assembly for the clutcgh pedal
on my 1991 90q20v.  Does anyone have any experience:

(1) Will I damage anything (e,g: master cyl or pedal assembly)
if I drive it as is for a few days?

(2) any tricks in its replacement?  Looks hard to jamb back in there. :-(

note: the pedal *does* return itself under hydraulic pressure - for now . . .
