Clutch Clearance
Oh, hello,
I've just finished shoving(and i mean shoving) a 1600 freshish motor with new clutch into my 68 beetle.
I put it in, cranked it and there was a banging noise on each rotation coming from behind(where else) when i let the clutch out.
So, I pulled the motor out and noticed alot of aluminium shavings in the end of the gearbox.
It turned out that the studs on the clutch cover were'nt clearing the gearbox, so they were shaving it with each rotation. I pulled out the old
grinder(please don't wince) and took off 1mm off of each stud and some of the gearbox, put the motor back in, and now it runs fine.
Has this happened to any of you guyz?
Did I do the wrong thing by grinding it?
Cheers, and happy 29th o' march!:beer(excuse to clik on the beer)
Josh

No, but you're probably lucky that you didn't set the magnesium alloy on fire!!! :thumb

are you sure that you fitted the same style of clutch?
I dont recall exactly but did the 68 have the re-inforced ring in centre with the three levers.?

I'm not sure....
I was told that this one would fit by one Ron Vis (this guy is the Adelaidian master of Vdubs), so the stuff up was probably my fault.

I think a 1500(standard) but the engine
number has FO at the start which i think means its 1300. Howerr it did have a fair bit of balls(relatively speaking), kicked the butt of my friends 85
volvo 360(yeah, yeah 360s suck arse).

Sounds like you just slipped a 12V flywheel engine into a 6V case! The Yanks used to just let it go until it "cleared," but I wouldn't
recommend it. Sounds like you did the right thing - but if you don't get VW Trends (just did an article on this clearancing,) send me an e-mail
and I'll scan it for you. Or they may have it on their web-site soon.

I don't know if it is the bellhousing because if u put a 12v flywheel into a 6v tranny that hadn't been clearanced it wouldn't even
turn over.
