I have the daunting job of clearing out my interior and cutting my tunnel open to repair the clutch tube. Does anyone have tips on doing this job? Do the fuel lines need to be taken out? Humm.......maybe I should if they're still plastic.
I appreciate all your wisdom as I'm trying to gain some on my own. Thanks!! Steve |

My car has a repair done similar to Doc's, it's a cable clamp. Has worked fine in the 5+ years I've had the car. I'm just not a fan of mechanical substitution for welding but it's still there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I gather it failed in the tunnel and then repeated clutch action caused the firewall compromise; that's another repair point. And rust is not to blame here, there's virtually none in these areas. I just think it's another case of Hans und Franz letting their weld quality slip on a Friday afternoon while thinking of foamy steins at the Hofbrau Haus...
