    Hey Everyone, I have a 2006 2.0t and my clutch recently has been sticking to the floor. I know it is not a burnt out clutch because I never smelled anything and it was running fine not too long ago. I know brake fluid and other things could be the problem but I am no expert.

    My 1992 Jetta diesel, manual trans, has recently started a squeal noise sometimes. I believe it's coming from the clutch cable or RPM cable? When this happens, the RPM guage slows down to 1000. Then it sometimes catches again, the RPM's go back up on the guage, and the squeal goes away. If I...

    My car is hesitant to enter first and second gear, and sometimes the car grinds gears when I go in reverse. I've been doing some reading and I'm almost positive this is the clutch. So my question... I have a mk4 1.8t 180hp engine. I eventually want to chip my car, and I've been reading that...
