coming home from work today in the 58 beetle shifting
from 3rd back to second,lost all gears ?
engine runs but as I shift through the gears she will not engage...shift feels fine but nothing !!

what do you think....clutch only 3 mnths old !
input shaft ?.....OH its a type 3 box mated up to a 1500 singleport..............open to suggestions

did you fell anything let go? like a pop or clunk?

NO ! thats the problem gears one minute gone the next !...although I did have the stereo up pretty loud

had been detecting an intermittent vibration coming and going since I did the clutch !

Not sure, but check the shift rod coupler under the rear seat.

Check the drive splines in the brake drums
look for a loose axle nut

shift coupling under rear seat pat..
look there first n happened to me many moons ago
maybe an easy fix

first thing I checked Paul ,all good ! hows the herpies ?

huh wtf?
was that the problem?
i have cream but did you tell ur wife?

Sprays some glen20 into the thread then posts...

'This one time on band camp" I had 'issthues' with a clutch plate, had the oldskool adjustable tab thingies...after putting the engine back in the thing ran like shiet, and gears were hard to engage etc...thought I broke some strange sprocket on my thinimiebob wtf is going on PANIC etc .....so--oo took engine back out and checked it all out, and one of the nuts hadn't been tightened properly, so a tab was loose on the plate, so the plate was sitting crooked/uneven preassure so re-set it all and tightened it up properly...or do you have the new fangled whizzbang spring loaded type?

may not be of much use...but I know it freaking vibrated when it was wrong....

Oh no....h has herpies....might need something stronger than Glen 20.

Napalm

hehe, haven't engaged in public forum grosities for a while....mmmwwaaahahaha...nah-nah-nah-naahh-nah h has herpies...h has herrrpies....

happy to share the love
I'm sure the host pat is closer than where I'm at in mother Russia
I can email you a swab if ur in needy dire

oooh yethie pleezeee... I shall take it and sell it on ebay as tony 'bom chicka wah wah' abbot's DNA swab......................... with no reserve i might make 3 cents from some budgie smuggling nerd aming for world domination by cloning a tony army..... won't that nerd get a surprise in his petri dish!

so pat was the shift coupling In need of mc lovin?

sounds like something related to the input shaft.
Probably the throw out bearing or clutch,
or even the sleeve that joins the input shaft to the mainshaft inside.

so what youe saying is,the donk has to come out ! ! again......@&^(*@*

be grateful that you have a vw where if only takes 45min not some bs modern water pumper that takes 2 days to take out.

Have you looked at the driveshafts and CVs? If the shift feels fine and there's a complete lack of drive then it could be on the output side.
