As Tom said, no break in period. It sounds like you either have a failing transmission or it could be that the pilot bearing is failing. You have to remove the transmission to check this so you might want to be prepared to do a rebuild if you find that the pilot bearing is not the culprit. Hope this helps, Ken Wilford John 3:16 http://www.vanagain.com http://www.strictlyvwauctions.com http://www.eurovan.org http://www.vwcabrio.org Phone: (856)-327-4936 Fax: (856)-327-2242 -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Maggie Dew Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 8:39 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: new slave cylinder
I got a new clutch slave cylinder yesterday - after having the master cylinder replaced last summer. It's still stiff going into first, and sometimes second. Is this normal - does it take awhile to "break in"? Maggie '85 Subaru-Westy "Anne Bonney" |
