[Vwdiesel] Clutch slipping?

[Dave Cook]

I wish I would have known/noticed that before!

I usually end up having to put the trans in on it's side (so the back end is facing somewhat up) because the final drive interferes with the suspension.  Then, once it is mostly lined up, I rotate it back into the correct position.  Not real easy, but not real hard either.
