S4 Clutch

[mattconquer]

I have a minor issue with the clutch in my S4 when i put my foot down on the clutch for some reason i find it really hard to get it in gear. When i say really hard it crunches which it did not do yesterday. Has anyone else experienced this problem??

Have you checked the master cylinder fluid level ? If it's low then this will cause the problem you are having.

air in the system or red hose syndrome when engine is hot.

Had the same problem in my SE. There is a small rubber boot around the slave cylinder, remove the rubber boot, it will expose a rod. The rod on my SE needed a new rubber cap on the end (included with the slave rebuild kit from JAE), takes 10 minutes to check/replace, but you will need to jack up the back of the car. Once the cap was replaced (very small), the clutch would fully engage, been working perfectly ever since...Good Luck. Ryan
