Re: Clutch vibration

[Michael Murphy <mmurphy@nais.com>]

4kq AT owners (if such a car exists) press <Del> now.  I preface my
comments with the understanding that - I've had several beers, well 6,
no 8, ah who cares; the Giants - that's NY Giants - are winning (see
below).

Mea Culpa to the 4K/man trans owners for not closely following this
thread; have my own problems w/rack,trans mounts,driveshaft,CC blower
motor, etc. etc...

John,
you jogged my memory.  ~ 5 years ago, a buddy of mine owned an 86 4ksq
(what a beauty).  Anyhow, he had clutch problems - wouldn't engage/low
pedal and CLUTCH VIBRATIONS (as I recall). Drove around for a week
w/vibrations getting worse and found (when brought to shop) that
something (forged) in the bell housing that held vital piece (shift
fork?) broke - not because of bad forge but because it was not
immediately fixed (saw the damage).  Result - used trans at ~$1200.
IF YOU ARE COMPETENT, FIX IT NOW OR GET THEE TO A MECHANIC (how does one
make the simley and sad face at the same time) :-()? 
HTH,
Mike Murphy
Warning  - - - rant on - - -
You know, I'm beginning to believe that if was not for the list, Audi
would not be as popular. . . ah, forget it.  AoA, you owe us!  Same for
VAG: EC, Asia, NZ, AU, and whoever else. 
This concludes the rant - - - we return you to normal whatever.
OFF CONTENT COMMENT -----
Mets are out of playoffs - Go Cubbies - play Giants t'morrow.
Go Yanks and "phleeeet" (jes, what's that murph) to you guys that hate
off list comments.
