[Vwdiesel] 85 Golf Clutch Cable

[Rudy]

Starting in 85, the Golfs had a thick rubber and a large steel washer on the
outside of the Firewall that the Clutch Cable goes into.  It moves the pedal
end of the Cable out a little and changes the adjustment but works good and
solves the problem forever.  I find them in the Junk Yard, Gas and Diesel
are the same.

there is a cylinder like stop that is secured on the inside of the fire
wall, in the cabin. I have seen this come off. I welded a small angle on
each side and used self tapping screws, securing it on the engine side.
aside from the stop on the trans, this is the only spot that would cause
your condition providing the cable is good.
