Ahhhh, Derek, how can you so VERY nice lookin Syncro camper have a clutch
problem.  I'd have figured that you were on top of all the mechanical ills
long before they went awry.

Well, here's my experience in my '87 16V GTI.

I drove my '87 GTI at least 5000 miles on a severely slipping clutch.  When
I eventually replaced the parts, the pressure plate was broken, the disk
was ok.  I think you should be ok going another 220 miles.  Be gentle,
drive carefull.
