I do not know the answer, but I had the same EXACT problem with an old 
Audi. The dealer did the oil thing but nothing. After harassing them they 
said it *could* be something with the springs (?) in the clutch plate, if 
I remember correctly. They said they could replace the part but would NOT 
promise that it would fix the problem. Since I was out of warranty I did 
not bother to try. Instead I sold the car to my brother and he moved to 
CA :-)

Good Luck,
