[Vwdiesel] Clutch slipping?

[brian hoeft]

The tests you describe in your first paragraph I dont see as very
definitive. What you mention happening gong up hill however does,
considering your possibly on an original disk. Otherwise, I would inquire
about your cable adjustment..

What model are we talking about here? if its an 020 tranny, you on your back
in a bench press like maneuver is the likely scenario.

BTDT dozens of times and its not bad for someone of average build. I've even
R&R'd one with a broken thumb. Clocking the diff over the subframe is what
can get people hung-up.. pun intended.
