[Vwdiesel] when it rains it pours

On the 85 and later Golf they use a large steel washer and a rubber disc
about a half inch thick, it goes on the outside and the clutch cable goes
thru it, takes the place of that wimpy frame support on the pedal cluster.

So, thanks to help from the list, I got connected with an ECM.  It will
arrive in a couple of days.  I then hopped into the trusty old '85 TD to get
to work thankful that I have a backup car.  Except that it won't quit
backing up.  The frame that supports the clutch pedal broke in three places
while I was going down the driveway and I couldn't therefore disengage the
clutch to get it out of reverse.  The rest of the day was spent discovering
that this is a part VW did not ever intend to be replaced.  Fortunately,
there's a muffler shop a bike ride away that has a MIG welder.  At least I
now know why the clutch seemed spongy for the longest time....
