Description of the problem	There were no events leading to the failure. I drove my 2001 vw gti into work on wed september 8, 2004 withouth any problems. In the afternoon when i was going out to get lunch (about noon) i tried to drive the car and i couldn't put the car in gear. If i tried to put the car in reverse the gears would grind and screech and if i tried to put it in any other gear (1-5) i was not able to. I had it towed to the vw dealership and am now faced with a $1,900 bill to replace the clutch. The car is only 3 years old and has only 30,000 miles on it and i should not have to replace a cluth now.*ak
