I'm certainly not the expert here, but passing something along my
(unfortunately, former since I moved away) Vanagon mechanic said to me.  I
bought all the parts for the clutch replacement myself, probably from one
of our online venders, but I don't remember which one.  One item I got was
a fiber bushing, 5/8"?.  Darrel told me that it is not included in most
kits, some vendors don't even list it, and many people miss it in the
replacement, especially if it has been worn away to nothing.

So, get that fiber bushing.  Many of you probably know what I am talking
about, probably more than I do.
