The 68 and 71 use different pressure plates. You need to match the pressure plate to the transmission, so in your case you need an early 200mm pressure plate, the one with the release ring in the center. If you have the wrong one it there that would likely cause some problems. The other possibility is that the problem is due to the steel line in the tunnel coming loose at the rear. If this is the case, putting in the HD PP would just put more stress on everything and cause more problems. Keep in mind that you don't need a HD PP unless you have an engine much bigger than stock. For a stock 1600 it is just a waste of money and an invitation for problems. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
