Since this thread is back up I thought I should post my 3rd CV failure 4 weeks ago. What is the importance of the street sign? This is within 100' of where I broke down a few months back.

Bought a brass one from 914rubber - Thanks Mark!
That's Volkswagen for ya. They still install plastic 'critical drive train' components in some of their vehicles. They were still installing a plastic bell crank between the shift lever mechanism and another shift rod to the transmission selector linkage in the Beetle/Golf/Jetta line. They called the bell crank a 'relay' in the parts diagram (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) When it broke, it left owners stranded with no way to shift gears to move out of harms way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ... ask me how I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I always use the metal trunnion block (some folks call it a clevis), and carry a spare one, along with a spare cable and two 11 mm nuts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Had it a week. Stopped to help with a traffic accident and she wouldn’t start. Later discovered it was the ground strap. I like cheap and simple fixes.

I don’t think so. We think it is a broken spring. It is a wait and see game right now. |

It's been happening since the beginning of time..sorting through photos recently reveals this episode from 1991 as I was moving from Iowa to Tampa.
I have determined that this is now Exit 306 on 75 South at Adairsville, GA. It's been so long that I can't remember what happened but I know it ended up at Automobile Atlanta where George put a rebuilt 1.7 in it. |

To get the proper adjustment range for the cable, you need a spacer behind it. I use a Weltmeister aluminum clutch link pin for a 70-71 911. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/cdn.rosepassion.com-1143-1595869057.1.jpg) That is the only image I could find online. Depending on the cable, you may have to shorten it slightly to get the cable to fit. But it fits the clutch arm better, and gives you more adjustment on the cable without having to use a spacer. |

...and there she goes. Project sold! Now all I have to do is enjoy my ‘75 and figure out what to do with the reclaimed garage space.
