Description of the problem	I was driving and the clutch seemed to be different. It is hard to explain how but when you are the driver 99% of the time you kind of know. On wednesday april 22 i depressed to clutch coming to a stop and heard a definite noise. Then as i was pulling off from the stop in 1st gear the car did not want to move easy. There was another noise as i was releasing the clutch, as well. There is just over 29000 miles on the 2006 vw new beetle. I was able to continue without causing an incident. I thank god for helping me to recognize a problem and make slow easy moves. I hope there does not need to be an accident, death, fire to suspect a continuing problem with a car to lodge a complaint to review the cause.
