**SOLVED**
Vehicle: 2012 Jetta TDI 6 Speed Manual Transmission, 55,000 Miles (14,000 miles left on Certified Pre-owned VW Warranty)
Issue: Clutch intermittently does not fully disengage causing a hard shifting problem where I have to force the car into gear. This occurs while stopped.
Question: Has anyone seen this problem or experienced it and knows what to look for?
Thank you in advance for any help or insight you guys can provide!
UPDATE:
I just wanted to bring this thread to a close. I first attempted to solve my problem by flushing the clutch slave cylinder with new DOT 4 brake fluid. That did not help.
I then brought it to VW where they took the transmission out and found that the pressure plate had two bent fingers which was causing the clutch to sometimes not fully disengage. Luckily this was covered under the certified pre-owned vehicle warranty.
Thank you to everyone for your help!
