Hi.

I'll try to be concise ;)

Problem: stripped pivot bolt threads on tranny.

Wanted to understand/confirm your idea. Was that:

thread pivot bolt hole on new brass bearing to accept
a new exterior pivot bolt. New bolt would replace
stock 11mm pivot bolt, and attach to (screw into) new
brass bearing but not to tranny housing.

Stock plastic parts on order, but If I can change
order and get brass bearing for driver side, I will.

Does the diesel vanagon clutch housing use this brass
driver side bearing?

If not, I just want to get this done and will go with
plastic.

Sure wish I had a lathe...... pretty sure I could make
new brass bearing
