If you can stop the wheels with the brakes, there is no problem. On the other hand, the adjustment should be that you can just feel clearance at the release arm (1mm) on the tranny. This should give you about 1" of freeplay at the pedal. If you still have grinding of gears going into gear, then start looking at a bent clutch disk or possibly a clutch broken loose in the tunnel. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
