I've owned my Westy 82 Diesel for only a short time, and am relatively new to Vanagons, but not VWs. My question is, my clutch seems to grab well and engage firmly. There is no evidence of slippage. As the weather has gotten cooler, my clutch seems to engauge closer and closer to the floor. Currently the clutch must be FULLY DEPRESSED to shift without grinding. It will start grabbing 1/2 inch off the floor, and be fully engaged at about 2 inches off the floor. If I pump the clutch, the engagement point seems to be temporarily raised from the floor-slightly. Is the hydraulic slave adjustable? I've checked my manual and hav'nt seen any procedures. If I need to replace the slave/s do i do both or is one more prone to decay/fail? Lastly, tell me it is'nt the clutch????? Thanks everyone in advance- for your thoughts and suggestions. Joel |
