Default this is gimp2.7......car wont start....

last night after class, i was on my way home and the car wouldnt start. first i thought it was the battery but lights and my screen worked fine. then i thought i was the alternater or the start motor.......in frustration i pumped the clutch and to my surprise the car started. (the key was in the on/starter position as if i was turning the engine on). My guess is probably my clutch is soo worn that there wasnt enough pressure for the car to recognize that the clutch was engaged. I did have a problem with my clutch slipping when i had my chip a couple of months ago. so i knew it was about to go out.....should i refrain from driving it until i get a new clutch? does anyone have a rs4 clutch in stock?
thx in advance

The clutch wear won't be an issue. It's the actual switch. Replace it.
