Can people post up some pics of what the throw out bearing should look like in a 1964 beetle. I think mine is shot but just need to make sure.
Thanks
mmm i would have thought that a worn out thrust bearing would look very similar to a good one
Im not sure its the throw out bearing, its the one that stays in the gearboix when the engine is out
the one that sits over the input shaft and springs forward towards the clutch when you put your foot on the clutch pedal?
thtas the one!
its a standard pre 70's...were only 2 types i am aware of (same as pre 70's early kombi, type 3, beetle etc, all same). i unfortunately am stuck
with a brand new early one in my garage as it didn't suit my post 70's kombi box. So had to get the later.
EARLY: (This is what you want)

Early has the round clips on the side of the bearing, while the late has squarish
Yeah on the input shaft.
Mine seems to have like a semicircle sticking out the sides not a ful circle. Ill post up pics tomoro but how hard is it to change and i think ill
need at least one new spring cause only found half of one in the bottom of the trans.
yea sorry... thats what i meant. its semi circular... but none the less not squarish like the late.
there are only 2 types...
Not hard at all, and new springs are cheap. HD springs are also available for a little extra.

replace it i have a FEW AND YOU CAN HAVE 1 IF THAT HELPS
idiot putter caps on again
Here are two pics
Thats rooted. Looks like its slipped off the throw out arms and worn the shit out o the throw bearing face.
Yeah it had busted one of the springs and only had the one on it. I am wondering if it would have done any damage to the clutch and other parts. Also the input shaft seems to move alot.
The input shafts to have more movement then say a Holden gearbox for eg. Check the clutch fork for for wear, which allowed the bearing to move out of
position. Also I would be thinking there may be some damage to the clutch pressure plate, pending design.
Kev
There doesnt seem to be any wear on the clutch fork.
Here is a pic of the clutch, i dont know much about them sorry.
180mm early type , u need the full kit
don't forget to replace both seals while its out. Cheap insurance 
What do you mean when you say i need the full kit.
clutch plate+ pressure plate + throw out bearing. then the crankshaft seal and the output shaft seal.
OKay, where should i get them from?
Why do you think he needs a full clutch kit from that photo???
it doesnt look as though you have damaged the pressure plate, you may just need a new release bearing. if you need a new
clutch kit we sell them at highway clutch and brake. kit number is vwk18001n or vwk18002n. our prices are good too.
cheers.
Only problem is its in melbourne, how much is postage to 2575 roughly
