New-TB fallout

I have noticed that after having my TB replaced - as the old one would not perform adaptation - revs do not drop sharply when lifting the accelerator pedal. This is particularly annoying when changing gears in my manual tranny, as it is then nearly impossible to perform a smooth change because revs are still higher than they should be on declutching.

Any ideas on how to revert to the old behaviour?

Also, since this is putting a lot of unnecessary stress on the clutch, I feel it is wearing out faster. Any ideas where to get a good clutch - hopefully better than stock - and prices?

Any comments appreciated.

Nor does mine :( mines been like it since I had the car, especially noticable in traffic. Maybe the timing is now out a touch?

Mines in the garage at the moment, due to linkage failure Audi quoted me £3000 + Vat thats over $5000 to replace the gearbox, its in a transmission place at the moment and having a new clutch and linkage, should cost £1000 max
