Default UPDATE: new vibration and a loud POP. When I press the clutch all the way in, I occasionally feel a

vibration through the pedal. At first I thought it was only present when the engine is revving, but a few times it did it when idling.

Update: Went to Home Depot and when I was backing out of my parking spot, the clutch didn't feel right. So took it out of gear, released the clutch and then pressed it again when I heard and felt a loud POP. After that, I couldn't get the car into any gear when the engine was running.

If I turned off the engine, I could get into all gears normally.

Just had it flat-beded home.

So what did I blow, a master cylinder or something else?

Yup, I think you have the same problem as me, time for a new clutch (bad PP)

Now the debate is just do the clutch or go the K04 route? Really don't want to spend the money.

Default No need to pull motor to do clutch. Don't even need to pull DPs out of the wa. :)

Let me know if you need any tips for the tranny removal if you're doing it yourself. Got my tranny out in less than 3 hours when I did my clutch.

Default Any info is appreciated. I read Bentley and there seem to be a lot of steps, but I have a lift. So

I'm on the fence on what to do.

The main issue for me is time, but if the quotes I get are too high, might just do it myself.

Any tips, tricks or shortcuts that reduce the effort will sway me to doing it myself.

Thanks
