Slipping or chattering conditions may result from oil contamination of the disc friction material. The clutch push oil seal (VW Part # 020 311 108A) is often the source of the oil leak. Inspect the push rod seal, the rear main engine seal and the transmission input shaft seals, and replace if damaged or worn. Replace the push rod bushing (VW Part # 020 311 107C) with a push rod seal.
