If it's an s4 you should check the chlutch & brake master cylinder for leaks (feel underneath drivers side carpet, sometimes leaks through firewall), slave cylinder for age and leaks. When you take it for a ride leave the stereo off so that you can here for things like bad differential mounts and other bad suspension componants. Also check the boost lines and other rubber hoses for pliability(no hard as plastic) and to see if there are any leaks(fluid or air). Check boost pressure and vacume pressure if possible. I think that just about covers it.

Was this a common problem with the s4 TII???
Is it just the entire clutch system or clutch components like the slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder???

Big One the early fc3s(86-88) all had problems with thier hydraulic systems. It has something to do with the construction of the stock componants. Usually if you get a part that's not OEM it will solve the problem. Tokico sells some good stuff if you want to pay that much to stop or shift your car.
