it sounds like you got the same problem as me (clutch issues)is your clutch a hydrolic or mechanical if its a hydrolice you might just have air in the lines and there are other test you can do

Depends on your mileage, whether they are highway miles or local driving, how good of a manual shift driver you are, whether the clutch has been replaced before, and how long you intend to keep the vehicle....etc, etc.
 
Since you have to open it all up to get to the throw out bearing, you might as well replace the clutch plate (and even consider the pressure plate). If you don't, and then down the road in a year and 15K miles your clutch plate then needs replaced....now you have a whole big labor charge again to tear it apart.
 
Personally, If I have to open it up ..... I'll replace it all, and then won't have to go into the clutch/transmission again.

I realize Audi parts are atrociously expensive, so it's possible one could examine the clutch parts and put them back in, but if there is any kind of mileage on these parts I'd probably bite the bullet. It's not like an Audi Quattro transmission falls into your hands after removing two bolts. This is not a 1965 Mustang clutch job.
 
If you are in doubt, have a professional give the parts a really close eyeball. And if you do replace it, use quality parts.

water in transmission, I think by suppo

I have a gold/silver cylinder shapped object that is connected to the bottom of the transmission. It appears to be leaking water where the two halfs come together. What is this cylinder? I assume my radiator has a crack inside and is leaking water into the transmission through the lines. What else do I need to do besides replace radiator and flush transmission? Why would water come out and not transmission fluid?

The only thing I can think of here is that water from the radiator has entered your tranmission cooling lines. Normally these lines contain only fluid, which is sent to the lower tank in the radiator, and this lower tank is cooled by air rushing into the radiator. There is not supposed to be any water/fluid mix.
 
So just guessing from this distance, if you have water dripping out of the cooler lines at the transmission, (and presuming this is an automatic trans), then there must be an internal leak in your radiator between the two tanks.
