Hey guys, just replaced the transmission on my 1977 2.0FI type 4 powered baywindow. Got a new transmission from Rancho, and installed it, along with a new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing this passed weekend.
After getting it in and taking it around on a few local miles, I find a 'skipping' or 'hesitating' feeling when I hit the roughly 60MPH mark. It feels rather like a tapping of the brakes, or as if I were depressing the clutch pedal while in gear. Now, Im not certain that its a transmission related hesitation. I checked everything on the outside, and from what I can tell its all good. I did find that the axle bolts to the transmission were left a bit loose but I tightend them all down, and still have the skipping feeling. I looked around my engine bay, and dont see any loose hoses, or wires.
Does anyone have an idea I should look into.
Also, does anyone have a vacuum diagram for my engine?
Thanks guys!

| Check your timing, points, cap and rotor. What you describe is exactly what I experienced with my 1991 Passat. After a long witch hunt, I found that it was the timing. Once set properly, the surging / skipping was gone. |
