help, my sisters bug is driving funny, clutch maybe?
hi
my sisters got a 1960 beetle, not sure of the gbox, probably a 1300 swing axle. yesterday just starting driving badly, she says its shuddering wen u
take off really badly, and now wont go into second, or popping out of second and also not going into fourth. i havent had a chance to drive it yet.
could this b a clutch problem or a gbox problem maybe?
any help is appreciated
thanks
sam

Sounds like it would be the front G/B mount.

Sounds like it may be a lot of things...
shuddering clutch can be oil on clutch plate...
also engine/gearbox mounts are split in half....
and gearlinkage may be a bit sloppy....
Hopefully its the gearbox/engine mounts....
You can get NOLATHANE ones that virtually last forever....
they are red in color....
Best of Luck... but its not the end of the world....

if all fails u guys muss not overlook the clutch cable conduit above the box
ie in 60s and pre- (split case) - often the bracket gets fatigued and cracks and reduces the important "S" bend tention for the clutch.
later than 60's have a more substantial bracket but poor front mounts will reduce the tension and produce severe shudder on take-off etc
you may need to add washers to increase tension esp if you have a different ( later ) box in it...
