Dash pot's
Hey guyz,
Finally found a dash pot to try on my bus and put it on yesterday arvo. I took the bus for a spin and its alot easier to make a smooth gear change.
Before i would have to make small adjustments to the accelerator to avoid slowing the car by not having enough engine revs when jumping up a gear and
be a bit more careful with the clutch. But now with the dash pot i can take my foot right off the accelerator, clutch in, shift and then just drop the
clutch and it will be a perfect change every time. This is probably not working my synchro's as hard and letting me use the clutch a bit less. Since
putting the dash pot on its been beneficial..... so why does a vw without a dashpot exist? Why do people take them off? Am i missing something?
cheers

Hi
What sort of flowers have you got in it?
So does it keep the revs up between changes, I found that annoying on cars that had them fitted.

a dashpot looks a little like the vacuum advance on the dissie- it has a little rod coming out of it that is damped, when you take your foot off the
accelarator, it hits the damper & delays slightly the travel to idle speed, it is primarily an emission control
Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54  |

ah, i see too. was wondering as well. Grandpa was givin' me a tutoring session on those things on his 62' fairlane 500, apparently very rare for his
car, hard to find spares. Was talking about how some people have it as a shocky kinda think or wateva directly on the pedal (from what i heard).
Goodluck though, hope u find one. There are more vee dubs than 62' fairlanes, so u shouldn't have that much of a trouble, i would imagine.
