Hi Everyone, Got my 91 Syncro back from non-VW mechanic today after clutch job. The fact that his new rear main seal is leaking and it vibrates so bad I can't drive over 35 really made my day. The most interesting part was when he showed me my old clutch disk only half worn and a pressure plate in decent shape but with some gouges in it. Also said the throw out bearing was in decent shape. He said the flyweel had to be machined 3/1000 to take out other gouges. He surmises that some needles from the pilot bearing came loose and got into the clutch causing my sudden clutch loss and the gouging in the plate and flywheel. Have you guys seen this happen before? I'll be taking it back on Monday for him to re-do the main seal. My guess is he didn't mark the driveline when removing it which fortunately I did last week when I tried, so I'll realign that in the morning and hopefully take care of the vibration. Thanks for any comments. Jim 91 Syncro Adventure Wagon
