|
|
Hello all,
anyone had an issue with fully engaging the clutch after installation of a beetle gearbox in a BD? seems like the throw is just not enough?
difference I see is the 90mm clutch-arm on the gearbox while a BD has a shorter one. guess I need to change this out to a 75mm one?
Any other updates anyone else has done to improve this?
Thanks,

Hi Peter,
Did you install and setup the Bowden tube correctly? _________________ Terry Gaudet

Hello Terry,
yes, that one is renewed and has the little sag in the middle as i always do, so should be correctly set?
This evening I can spend some more time... lets see if I can check what else could be up.
Thanks!

I didn't have any issues with 3 different beetle gearboxes in my bus, I didn't change the arm on any of them _________________
