2002 Golf TDI manual shifting issues

[bowelder]

I was pilling into the parking lot and down shifted. After the down shift i went probably 50ft, I wasn't going fast at all and the car stalled violently, its hard to explain. After that, it's difficult to shift gears and the car also moves slightly even in neutral when the clutch is released. It feels like something has gone wrong internally in the transmission but i was hoping maybe it could be a cable adjustment, slave cylinder, or something transmission related.


Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated

The moving (or "trying to move") in neutral and difficulty shifting make it sound more like a clutch system issue. As in the clutch not releasing properly. Many possible causes. Worn/ broken pivot, friction disk, pressure plate, etc.

My thought is that when in neutral, the clutch shouldn’t matter at all
