Allo again people, my baby 16v had a shagged clutch and last week i decided to replace it with a VW genuing LUK clutch, all went well and while i was at it i removed the spare speedo drive gear that was stuck in the box, easy when the box is out and on its side.
Anyway after a few hours of screwing the new clutch was fitted along with a new cable to try and remove the stiffness of the historical heavy pedal.
Got it running sweet with a few tweaks up until today, i noticed the clutch pedal sticking when fully depressed, thought linkages at pedal maybe dry, eventually the car broke down at a set of traffic lights with the pedal fully stuck and the starter motor pinion engaged onto the fly wheel.
Tried rerouting the cable and this helped a bit but the clutch was still sticky, drove home with great difficulty and tried the pedal again, when fully depressed it seems to stick at the box, i think the cantilever arm for the release bearing at the box is sticking but can't understand why? Anyone any ideas?
Thoughts for tomorrow is to get the starter fixed Solution Easy, Put the old cable on Easy, Find out why the clutch is sticking when depressed, under investigation?
If anyone has any ideas would be appreciated other than pull the feckin box back out again
Cheers
Micky

LUK clutches are notoriously sh!t mate, i would have gone for a Sachs on, much better build quality and if you get a sports one they are built to order.

Well got her up and going again and with £10.00 spend at the starter for a solenoid, the clutch stiction problem is related to shagged and missing clutch rubbers at the box, i put the spacers on in haste and mixed them, then when i had the clutch fully fitted i adjusted the cable to the max, resulting in strain on the cable, what i need now is the Vw part numbers and pictures if possible of the rubbers as i need to order and refit in the correct manner, anyone can help would be appreciated :evil: :evil:

did you lube up the clutch splines before you fitted the gearbox?
