My shifter has about 1/2 inch play to the left when it is in first or second gear. The gear selection going slow is a bit notchy.... I think the clutch needs adjusted, but i called my local audi dealer and they said that the clutches are self adjusting? Is that true? If so what else can i do?

I just bought 3 quarts of mobil 1 gear oil and going to change it out soon... any other suggestions?

the shifter play has nothing to do with the clutch, but with the shifter linkage.
my car has this play in first and second too, its normal.

is your gear selection tough? mine is noticeably tougher than it used to be

bleed the clutch, the fluid should be changed every 3 years.

learn to deal with it, when its cold things don't tend to work as well, metal shrinks and oil thickens, does it go away after the engine is warm and a few miles down the road?

no it doesnt go away when the car is warm

i planned on bleeding the clutch in the next few days, hope it helps

This might help...I'll refer to it when I take mine on
