Greetings to the list. The clutch in my 81 aircooled vanagon is growling at me. After just a few shifts it starts to act up. mostly when taking off from a stop in 1st I get a growling/groaning noise as I come off the clutch. from time to time i get a slight noise shiftint to second also. Today when I came to a stop with my foot on the clutch it felt like it was trying to grab as well. Is it time for a new clutch, or is there possibly a hydraulic issue to be addressed? thanks, Ed Maikranz Abilene Texas 81 Westy 71 Superbeetle __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
