Clutch on GT5S
Aquired a lovely example ont' weekend, but the clutch concerns me - it slips almost randomly, but more often than not...sometimes in as low gear as second, sometimes not even in 5th from 2000rpm!
It's got a pretty new clucth cable by the looks of things and the previous owner says it's the third one he's fitted (the first two were done by a "garage of muppets"). It feels like he's almost adjusted it too tight given that it bites near the top of the pedal travel but I've yet to investigate. I just hope to god it don't need a new clutch! given that he's racked up over 249,000 on his '89 white coupe I'd hope for a bit more mileage yet as the odos reading 'only' 129,000.
So, am I deluded with my latter statement?
Is the clutch easy to adjust?
Is this a common problem on similarly-aged Audis?
Any input appreciated...
Matt
