gearbox and clutch query
Gearchanges are just becoming a little stiff and awkward, and would like to rectify before driving again. Could someone please tell me what type of
fluid goes into gearbox and the quantity preferred /brand, also, are hydraulic clutches adjustable? Thanks in advance

Cheers Bernie, an interesting afternoon discovering the joys of finding clutch master cylinder....under dash, who would have thought? replaced rubber
thingy on slave cylinder and discovered there was a control arm loose. if that makes sense, still love that T3 note to self, when pushing on rubber boot whilst underneath to keep mouth closed YUCK!

Do a google on T3 parts and you'll bring up some US and European suppliers. They all have mufflers and prices are pretty good. Have you tried the
older vee dub parts suppliers here rather than VW direct.
Classic Vee dub etc, they all advertise in VW mag Australia.

I remember having a problem with stiff, awkward gearchange on a T3. I found a rubber boot on the gear linkage, near the gearbox, had perished and the
joint dried out. Greasing it up again returned the smooth, light gearchange action. So I reckon it might be an idea to check that the linkages are
properly lubricated - just go underneath and follow the rods back from the gear stick.
Hope this helps.
