Clutch problem

I started driving to work today and after a mile or so I noticed a funny feeling in the clutch. It feels way differnt when I press on it, it kinds feels gritty. I was able to drive it do I took it back home. First gear was the worst. Car has only 700 miles on it. I really don't work on it myself, but would still like some advice.

Thanks

Marty

Order a new (shortened) cable soonest - my bet is the cable strands are individually breaking and entire thing will soon be history. It could just be it needs to be removed and heavily greased - but just as easy to replace it at same time. Other possiblities are the cable housing breaking away from being secured to brackets in the tunnel to the rubber covered extension tube being at wrong angle/length.

Wolf's right on this one Marty.
I suggest that you remove your driver's side rear wheel to have a look see at the adjustment wing nut. My VS did the same thing at about 5000 miles. Turned out that the cable was coming apart near the wing nut.
VS charges $25 for them and I bought 2: 1 to install and 1 for the trunk.
Good luck, Ernie

I know you guys are going to laugh at me but I don

Get one of the light weigh aluminum floor jacks -- Harbor Freight Tool near by? It will be too big to carry around in car though. Don't forget to get couple 4 point jack stands too. Did your car come with jack? Might try a bottle jack there. Once LF rear wheel is off should be able to see wing nut.

i use the metal car ramps for alot of my adjustments

No jack came with my car. It came with the keys and a booklet for the stereo. Where is the proper jack placement? The edges all look to fragile. Do I go under the frame?


Thanks

VW pan based? If so: front axel beam (or header that its hooked to) or in rear the torsion bar "spring" pieces, shock base plate or maybe transmission horns. I'd stay away from edges of pan and the engine sump plate - for sure.
