whoever installed it should definately take a look at it...
the original clutch and all related accessories can last 150k...you should not be having this problem

Mine did this a few months after I replaced my clutch too, but mine was a little more dramatic. I completely lost the clucth pedal. When I pulled it up it stayed up but still wouldn't work. I had to start the car in gear (I was in the middle of traffic) and feathered the gas pedal to switch gears until I could get up the street and pulled into a gas station. When I looked under the car I say fluid pouring out. Aparently the hydralic line to the clutch cylinder popped out and was now leaking all my fluid out. I managed to push is back in and it got me on my way. I later found out you need to replace the spring clip each time that line is removed (like when I did my clutch). I ordered a new clip and installed it in a few seconds ( it was about $5 from Audi).
Although I doubt your problem is as bad as mine was, I would still suggest you check that line to see if it's leaking. The fluid for the clutch cylinder comes from the brake fluid resivor so start by checking that.

I had my clutch pedal drop on a 95 jetta I tried picking in up but it would drop right down to the floor again.I didn't have time to check it out so I just had it towed it to the dealer they said it was a tranny problem somthing with the gears (broken)? Anyway repair costed about $300. You should take it back to where you had the clutch done hopfully somthings just loose.
