Subject:Shortest Lived Clutch
From:Jim Arnott

Okay experts... here's one for you.  '83.5 Wasserboxer.  New clutch about 5k
ago.  Trans back out about 3k ago to replace the leaky input shaft seal.  Last
Thursday, daughter was driving it to town and the clutch refused to disengage.
 Press the pedal and it takes up the "free play" then goes rock solid.
Through out arm is moving about 8-10mm then stops.  Any hypotheses?  Todd? And
yes, I know (groan) that I've gotta pull the d*#% box yet again.
