RE: Clutch pedal "sticking"

["Stanton, John" <JStanton@newsamerica.com>]

Oh boy,

Who displeased the Audi gods?  This is the same problem that developed on my
86 4kq (162k) this weekend after I changed the transmission oil, no relation
I'm sure.  My thought was that the clutch pedal bearing was sticking.  Now
you all have me quite worried.  Slave and master cylinders oh no!  I am
going to stick my head under the dash board this weekend with a can of
silicon and go after the pedal bearing.  Who knows maybe I'll get lucky.  If
not, I'll be back.
