Probably correct that the friction material, or some other part of the clutch 
assembly, has come loose. I've experienced a similar problem with my "Alfa" 
Jetta before.

Pull the engine & tranny as a unit, then take them apart. It's a whole lot 
easier than trying to get the spanners to the bolts while the unit's in the 
car. AMHIK, I used to be able to pull my '63 Spider engine/tranny in 15 
minutes flat -- too practiced! Reassembly of the clutch/engine/gearbox is 
easier out of the car, too.
