Hmm... it sounds like the pushrod punched it's way through the thrust bearing. Did the clutch go all the way to the floor one day? It slides freely in and out of the output shaft of the tranny. I guess removing the whole damn thing might be the only option. The only other thing that might work would be tot try supporting the tranny and use some thin pliers to pull the pushrod back into the output shaft. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
