Re: [T3] Broken clutch tube weld?

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

I had that happen on a Beetle - the cable was holding with a few strands, but
had stretched so much it wouldn't operate the clutch properly.  Stay positive
for the moment, and hope it's not the welds.

I suppose the operating shaft in the bell-housing might have broken.  The return
spring on the operating shaft would still make the pedal come back but only
weakly.
