Subject:Yikes! Why is my TDI clutch screwed up?
From:Michael J. Sullivan

Dear List,

While I'm almost ready to "start the engine up" for the first time, a
problem has come up in my TDI conversion that doesn't make sense:

There is no movement in the clutch release arm. The slave cylinder is fully
compressed. The clutch seems to be too far into the tranny bellhousing.
What did I do wrong????

NOTE: I installed the clutch and TD flywheel supplied to me by Winkler.
Also, the tranny has the shorter diesel "main shaft".

Cheers,
