I was thinking the manual trans set-up would be great for someone dumping the "auto" trans. I wonder if the shifting rod is different. and of course is there a clutch cable tube in the tunnel of the recipient? then maybe a hydraulic clutch slave is a good idea? just brain storming this. it is still FI, but I wonder how much of a conversion back to a carb is? are the heads different? thanks for your time. g -- Karma, What a concept! |

How much would a '78 Cabriolet be worth?
I ratted around a few years ago wondering how to put a hydraulic clutch in
to replace the cable. Trouble I found was that all the clutch slave cylinders I found "pushed" the rod whereas the VW cable "pulls" the clutch lever. That,d put the cylinder in the engine bay. Or some other linkage. Got distracted after that!.

There was a guy who posted on craigslist for a free VW for him and his daughter to work on. He said somebody gave him one. I was going to offer him some of my stash parts, But we had some words.... Nevertheless I think he got a free beater to work on. |
