clutch?
« on: 12 January 2007, 19:03 »
ok my car suddenly started making a knocking noise (low frequency tap like tapping somin with a screwdriver) on the way home , it lacks power while in gear and is much more pronounced under load but fine when cruising or out of gear unless revved hard . after thought , it sounds like to me that one of the clutch springs has gone or somin similar transmision wise , gonna check tommorrow in the light but would like some opinions and if it is this any knowledge regarding doing the clutch like alignment etc on a mk2 digi 1.8 8v pb engine. ive changed clutchs lots but havent done one of these so pointers are always welcome :)

i used a 3mm drill bit but i think a 3.5mm will be better to centre the clutch just keep working it around the clutch until it looks even all way round i did this and mine works fine
