Mk1 Vw Sharan 1.8 Turbo 20v Clutch Problem

[jamesey]

hi ive already put a link in this section about a gearbox fault but now im unsure,

i think it might be the clutch or relese bearings?? , the car drives all ok going into gears including reverse , it only grinds into 1st when i stop at junctions and also when it ticks over its making a slight noise like a rattling noise coming from the front somewhere , but when i press the clutch down it goes away and no noise is heard , can i adjust it anyway.

failing that what are they like to do , the clutch????

im trying to sort it before i sell it on

No adjustment possible its hydraulically operated.

 

Clutch or release bearing, both involve a gearbox removal/refit.

 

If you've never done a clutch before, its unlikely that you would want to tackle such a big job. From Bigjeeze's current thread about his gearbox, its a good possiblity your clutch is shot (as his was).

Sounds like your clutch pressure plate is shot with broken springs/fingers, your driven plate is also likely to be shot and if you're gonna do the clutch then the flywheel will want refacing and the release bearing replacing as well.

 

Are you sure that the motor trade is for you? With so little knowledge you're gonna get tucked up big style!
