Subject: 82 diesel clutch =
problems
hi all,
hope you can help, here is my =
problem. About a
week ago, my clutch started making strange noises when I pushed on the =
pedal.
The noise was sort of a cross between grinding and squealing and would =
start
as soon as I put even the slightest pressure on the pedal. This =
afternoon I
started it, noticed no noise and thought WAHOO, the vw gremlins have =
already
fixed the problem for me.
I started to depress the clutch to =
put the car in
gear, the pedal went about halfway down and stopped. It came back up, =
but
still won't go any further than halfway. I was sort of thinking it =
might be
the t/o bearing, that would explain the noise, maybe it came apart and =
is
wedged someplace to keep the pedal from going all the way down? Any =
ideas?
between this and my Quantum with a bad head gasket I am currently =
carless, so
any help is greatly appreciated.
Don
