Buzzing/clicking sound, Mystery solved

[John Stanton <jjs3rd@ix.netcom.com>]

All,

Well I finally got to the bottom of that annoying problem.  Any
guesses?  It was connected to the pedal not returning.  My first attempt
at fixing it was to spray silicon on the working parts, lasted for a
week.  The pedal still stuck...hmm I knew it was time to bang my head
under the dashboard again.  Working under a dashboard is one of my
favorite things.   Upon disconnecting the clutch cable it was quite
obvious what was going on.  The hole in the pedal was badly elongated
and worse yet there was a groove worn 1/4 the way into the clevis pin.
Luckily I'm a sailor and have a large assortment of nice SS clevis pins
in my tool box.  I found a suitable on than wrapped it in Teflon tape to
serve as the new bushing.  After adjusting the pedal height all works
quite well.  Pedal feel is remarkable and it returns smoothly and NO
more buzzing.  The moral of the story, not all horrible noises require
massive amounts of appeasement money to the Audi gods.
