The late one doesn't have a center ring for the TO bearing while the early one does. You need the right one to go with the transmission you have; your 68 transmission requires the early PP with the release ring. > So, when we replaced the clutch cable we wouldn't have known if the steel > guide tube was broken? Right, it's just that the tube might not be securely fastened to the tunnel any more. If it's loose, then it will move when there is tension on the cable. > What is the pedal shaft Jim? The shaft that the clutch pedal rotates on. If the pedal isn't secure on the left end, or if the cable hook is loose on the right end then the cable adjustment might seem to be changing as these parts slipped. The last problem is rare, and the 2nd problem only somewhat less so, but either might be more likely to come up if a "high performance" PP had been installed; these put a lot more stress on all the other parts in the chain. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
