Well, we got everything changed and back together.
I crank the car up and it just grinds when trying to shift. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Heres what I know... we didn't remove the flywheel/crankshaft seal so the shims were not messed with I used the rebuilt flywheel (although it looked awefully clean) so I thought we might have to do the shims but didn't think we would be able to do it with what we had available.. I've adjusted the cable at the release fork as much as it can, the pedal feels very tight, and the end of the fork hits the transmision case. I've read about shimming the ball in the bell housing of the tranny, but how? is that what we should do next, or go in and get the shims behind the flywheel in spec? we shifted the transmission while trying to get it back on the engine, whould that have thrown something off? not sure what to do next? |

Somewhere in this thread I thought I told you they were all fitted with 3 shims. One thick and two thinner ones.
You put two shims on to start (thick & thin), measure the endplay and then calculate the thickness required for the 3rd shim. They are probably available from VW or VW parts houses. If not, you have to rely on the board members to find the one you are looking for (or have a couple of spare engines around). Hopefully, the ones you have will get you into the correct endplay range and you won't have to search for one. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) But if the end play has to be changed how would the shims that are already there be made to have a different thickness... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) My question was this. Are these usually available in "variety packs" or will I have to know the exact thickness of the one I need before I go shopping? After I asked, I looked on the AA site (where I get all of my parts, in store) and they have them individually, so I guess I'll go buy one of every size and hope one is right... By the way, thank you Slits, you have aswered my questions very well so far, even if I don't always listen... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |
