Greetings Volks:

Recently I posted my problem with severe clutch chatter here on the list.
 The problem began immediately after installing a Canadian rebuilt
wasserboxer including a new Canadian Sachs clutch disk.  A number of
repairs were tried no success.  I received many suggestions but I
especially wish to thank Brian Steel and Ron Salmon for their helpful
suggestions.

I now have 3,000 miles experience with a successful repair.  We replaced
the Sachs disk with a Luk disk as suggested by Brian.  Ron pointed out that
there might another cause since their are many successful installations of
Canadian Sachs clutches.  Comparing my old cross-over shaft with a new part
from VW, my mechanic concluded that VW had changed the design of the part
and that wear on the old part could contribute to the problem.  We popped
in a new cross-over.

Voila!  My repaired clutch system works as good as new.

Thanks all -- Frank LaHorgue
