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 itto 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.
