Clutch Judder

[No More Landy]

Modified spare socket to remove offending nut.

So this is the tube that came out, slightly difficult to pull out the old cable in some spots little tight but not extreme, seemed like just gunk inside and a slight bit of damage on the outside.


Should I rather just go get another sleeve/bowden tube, or just clean out the inside of the old one and maybe add some more washers to get a bigger "kink".

Saw a few YouTube videos and it seemed they use 3 quite thick spacers on the bowden tube - is this same for all models ?

Edit - seems I mixed up a spare Handbrake cable with a clutch cable

Seemed to have found cause. How would I have done this ?

Can I have the fingers replaced at Ferro Brake or just buy a complete kit ?

Broken pressure plate diaphragm spring is just wear and tear. You can have it rebuilt, but I prefer to buy new while they're still available. Likewise the bowden tube.

Tried Goldwagen and Ferrobrake with no luck - anyone else keep them in stock ?

Alert should carry them, or get it for you.

Midas carry some models, but not all.

Midas have a LUK Clutch & Pressure plate (same as original) for R1,400

Alert parts have a powertorque for R780

Assume the Midas one is the one to go for ?

Edit: Granslam also have the Powertorque but price is a bit high.

There is also Goeie Hoop Onderdele in Brackenfell, and Masterparts.

Oh FFS - the saga continues.

Now discovered the needle roller bearing in the flywheel bolt is toast also - must have been from the damaged pressure plate as it did not look like this when I did the engine work.

Do I buy the whole Bolt with bearing inside or can I just get the bearing itself ?

If anyone has a part/bearing number or supplier to hand to save me driving all the way to the VW guy I normally frequent. i.e Will a bearing supplier be OK ?

It's called a Beetle flywheel gland nut and it's a single part. Not too hard to find.

Found the needle bearing at Shelleys that goes in the nut. Was a bitch to get the old one out

Did you replace the bearing or the nut ??

Bearing inside the nut yes

Just torqued the pressure plate to flywheel bolts to 24 N.m - seems very small torque by feel.

What is the reason for such a small torque or is my Torque Wrench out of spec ?
