my friends 63 panel bus had "locked up" right after he turned off his engine. upon pulling engine we found a throwout bearing clip wedging the flywheel. reinstalled the throwout bearing with new TO clips and driving it everyday 20 miles each way.

Hello Asad! Haven't heard from you in a very long time so I'm glad to see you're still with us! It is entirely possible that something has fallen into the flywheel gear teeth and wedged itself between the teeth and the bell-housing. I would just pull the engine and while it's out, fix that starter bushing in the transmission. Then to remedy your hard start issues with the increased resistance in the wiring causing the solenoid to not want to activate, go here and read up on this rather cheap fix: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=421220 Keep us posted!
