my guess is either
oil on plate
warped plate
shot springs
Either way i would be prepared for a new clutch set up
Is oil dripping where the bell housing joins the motor?

As blue said. :thumb
When you replace the clutch, spend the extra time and money to get your flywheel machined as well, just to ensure that everything is true. 🙂

also check ur engine mounts. Had this poblem on mums car. The engine mounts had gone and allowed the engine to twist , and pull the cluth cable releasing the clutch, then the cable would unload and the clutch would take up etc.

You may also need more of a bend in your clutch cable outer, between the pan and the gearbox. This is a common problem.

the guide tube didnt have much bend in it! so i brought a new one and got another few washers!! but also the throw out bearing has a warn face and has a few mm play in the bearing!
does anyone know if a clutch off a 1500 beetle will fit upto a 1600 swing axle early type 3 box???
there is a little bit of oil in the gearbox so im not sure weather to do the rear main or not???
