None of my service manuals have any information on the transmission, so I'm at a loss to decide how much effort I should put into it while it's out while I rebuild the engine.
How do I tell when to replace the clutch disc? It's quite convenient to replace while the tranny is removed from the engine, but it's also kinda expensive and I don't want to spend money unnecessarily. Can I measure thickness with a micromenter to decide whether it needs replacing? Will a visual inspection be adequate? - Nathan '83 240D, 255k miles '00 New Beetle TDI, 25k miles |

There is a forked tool that is inexpensive you can get from your dealer. You put the tool through a slot between the slave cylinder and it's mounting surface. If the tool goes into a certain distance which is represented by notches on the tool, the clutch is thin and time to replace.
Good luck, |

Clutch replacement
Should you decide to replace your clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing and pilot bearing, the parts in FastLane are only $238.94 for everything.

Fastlane has prices for the parts...check them out. Then compare them to Modesto European....you will see how much of a difference there is.
BTW-- I live in Turlock......just about an hour or so from you. mike |

240D Clutch
Hello Ed,
FastLane shows the clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing and pilot bearing for under $242.00 for everything. You need the serial number to get the correct parts. Thank you partsman |

Hi Michael, long time no hear. I like to use the word inexpensive rather than cheap. At any rate, it's no fun when the cars break down.
