[Vwdiesel] clutch hard to operate

[Dave Newlin]

Hi,

  I have been working on getting an old Rabbit running. I switched engines on the Rabbit and I have everything hooked up and the clutch is really hard to push in. Everything worked fine prior to this work, the clutch, ths shifters and everything. It has been years though since either the engine or the transaxle has actually been used. Do you guys think it's the clutch and the transaxle needs to come off or could it be something easy like the throw out bearing sticking due to lack of lubrication because of the transaxle not being used for years.

Thanks

Dave
