Loss of Clutch pressure after freeway driving - works perfectly around town

Bill.......If Chico built your engine, perhaps you are close to his shop in Arcadia ca. he does a lot of VW high performance work and ships all over the place. We have become friends and I buy most of my parts from him.

Chico and/or Willie can help you with this problem easily. I live in Arcadia when I'm not down in Baja.  Send me a private post, maybe we can connect for some cruising n stuff

Check this out - for a replacement arm

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/cla...detail.php?id=801962

Wolfgang sometimes is a man of few words. What he is showing there is a short "regular" length arm in comparison to the longer available arm that is on the transmission in the picture. There is a significant mechanical advantage in using the longer arm and the benefit is that much less foot pressure is required by the driver. 

Be aware when ordering a new clutch arm that some of them have different diameters in the spline area. 

Jack Crosby taught me that one years ago....thanks, Jack !

Use a dime to compare shaft diameter- if the dime is larger then it's the smaller 16mm shaft and if the dime is smaller the shaft is 20mm. There are short and long arms for both shafts. _{I can't take credit for this- it's on Bruce's Samba advertisement for the longer shafts}

I ordered one.
