Welcome to the Samba!
Very nice car! Did you restore it?
There is another Type 3 Samba member from Romania. I believe he lives in or around Bucharest... |

thanks
yes, the car was badly rusted, and after driving around in it for a while , with the fenders falling off I have done the body work and paintjob
however I coulden`t buy new floor pans, or heater chanels .....the old ones are ok for now , but there welded....so new pans and heater chanels are something that I will have to change in the future |

I have a problem with my clutch
it vibrates when I am realeasing the clutch and the car starts moving forward
the problem was significantly worse last sommer but i ended up changeing the pressure plate, and the shocks, now its about 20 % of how bad it was then but its still not perfectly smooth starting
what could be wrong?
sorry for my english |

Would you describe it as "vibration" or more like "chatter"?
Chatter is often caused by a misadjusted Bowden tube (between frame and transmission), which can be adjusted with washers to get the required one inch bend. |

well it seems to have solved the problem
there still is a bit of chatter occasionally but that i think is from the transmission mount
It hat a bend but it was not enough, about 1 cm, so I have put a thick washer
I have only done a short test drive around town, but it seems ok
thanks |
