IIRC, we had a conversation about this long ago. I still can't understand how this could be, but I accept your observation. I suspect that there will always be some settling due to rust in the splines in our rust belt cars, but I thought you were talking about more than that. Of course if Bob was right about the numbers he saw, then that's a LOT of settling that could occur and it could be responsible for a LOT of confusion when trying to get all this to work out just right. I think this is just one example of where the factory manual can let you down, because it expects you to be working with nice clean like-new parts. Our reality is a little uglier. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
