I mentioned in my earlier trip report that I had the clutch replaced in
Missoula MT.
While they had the tranny out, they discovered that the main shaft was
scored where the pilot bearing rides. I saw it and it was. They said they
could put it back as is, but it would just wear out the new plot bearing
prematurely. So I had them get a new shaft from VW and install it. So
naturally the clutch job took longer and cost more.
Question is: How common is this and have others experienced similar wear?
Thanks,

Jerry
