Where the pedal attaches to the cable end may be worn away. I had that
problem once, replaced the pedal with one from a junker. Bunch of work
getting the pedal cluster out!!!!

Kind of scary, the pedal metal was almost worn through, and the clutch
would have been stuck in the engaged postion. Not a good thing while
folks are crossing in front of the van, and I've got it in gear while
stopped!

That reminds me, I should shoot some spray grease up there in my latest
beast.
What is the list's fav brand of spray grease (not oil)?

thanks,

Ron A

Subject: Clutch pedal stuck

Yesterday, the clutch pedal on my 87 GL Wolfsburg got stuck half way up.
I could still depress it and change gears, but there was slippage at the
clutch. When I forced it back up by hand, it wouldn't give at first and
then it came up to the full height after what felt like metal scraping
against metal. It happened a few times more since then. Now the pedal
travels the full length as before, but I can feel slight drag/scrape
half-way of its travel. Has anyone had this happen? I consulted the
Bentley manual and visually checked the system but found no obvious
defect. Thanks.
