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.
