Default Clutch problems?

Hey,
Im driving a 2001 Jetta for a little while and I am having a wierd issue with how the car drives in first and second gear. When I put it in gear and hit the gas the rpms rev high and the car barely goes anywhere. Eventually when you let off the gas and press it slowly the car will pick up. It only happens in 1st and 2nd gear (sometimes 3rd). If I put the pedal on the floor when it is in gear it revs through the roof. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem may be? Thanks.

how many miles are on the car? sounds like your clutch is pretty much gone.

The thing is though I had it in the shop for inspection and before it went in it drove fine. When I got it back they have me the keys and said if it drives funny bring it back which was sketchy. And then this problem happened. Is there anything that they could have done like inplug a sensor or loosen the cable on the clutch

they said if it drives funny bring it back? i wouldn't have even left the shop before they told me exactly what that was supposed to mean. all i can say is take it back to them because it seems to me like they messed your shit up.
