On my watercooled Vanagon since there is no clutch return spring, it looks like the clutch lever arm has to be tightly attached to the clutch slave cylinder piston arm(rod). But on my 1983 Westphalia the ball on the end of the clutch lever arm doesn't stick inside the socket on the end of the slave cylinder arm(or rod?). When I removed the slave cylinder I didn't pay attention to this detail so I'm not sure if the ball is a loose fit in the socket or if it is supposed to snap in place. Since mine doesn't snap in place, there is nothing to hold the clutch lever arm up(and the throw out bearing away from the pressure plate). Can someone set me straight on this? Thank you, John |
