Default just got RS4 yesterday and

today I noticed that my clutch is stiff. Its almost a workout to change gears. Is there an easy fix or do I have to take it to the dealer.

Take it to the dealer, a small # of cars have had a problem with the clutch. See rs246.com

Default I had this problem last week

I was stuck in stop-and-go traffic for a few miles and my clutch got very stiff, just as you describe. Later, after the car had been parked for a few hours, the problem was gone and hasn't returned. I attributed it to mysterious "hot clutch" problems that we've seen discussed here.

This thing does seem to have a finicky clutch.

Default My clutch....

pedal feels like it clicks at times when disengaging. Hard to describe but it's rythmic in nature. Does it very infrequently but does happen cold or hot.

If it gets worse I will take it in, if not next oil change I'll get them to check it out.

Anyone else feel this?
