![]() ![]() So there should be some sort of collar or sleeve either on the shaft where the throw out bearing goes or on the actual clutch? I might be wrong but if you don't have a coller on the shaft where the throwout bearing goes then your pressure plate should have a ring in the center And yours does not so it looks like the bearing was just rubbing on the teeth ![]() So any ideas? Am I f***** right now? hahah thanks! but please post your thoughts.However my cousin told me that it should have a front part that snaps to it, and thats a clutch problem, not a throw out bearing. would this be an idler that is bad? i could really stand to go several more years before having to tear that side of the engine apart again. i did a timing belt service 4400miles ago. it appears to be coming from the passenger side. Noise is the same high pitch under no load out of gear at 3000rpm. only for a short time in 2nd gear from 2200-2500rpm, doesn't seem to do it in the other gears. Noise is high pitch squealing under load in 1st gear from 2200rpm - 3300rpm. Is it the stupid pressure plate fingers again? and how does one scope the transmission to see what the problem would be? with a bore o scope camera through the top alignment mark plug inspection hole? Is it the throw out bearing, or the fingers again. now- i'm experiencing a high pitch squealing noise at low rpm while in gear and before the engine gets hot. I lost the first clutch at 53,000 miles (about 135degrees of material flew off the clutch plate), installed a stage 2 clutch, at around 110,000 i had to do another clutch with fingers broke off that time(installed another stage two kit with Single mass flywheel at that time as well). my 2004 jetta has a 1.9PD and an O2J transmission. Not really into those fingers flying off!! Warmer here in PA so have had the bike out until it gets to the shop next Wednesday. Very stressful time turn better with lower cost and learned alot about a clutch! And by the way the car is still driveable.just makes a bunch of noise. Why do they still use them? Sounds like they started in 911's decades ago and have caused issues since. It's all over this forum and most others. Guru told me they have always been junk and on the older VW they fix they don't even really give the owners a choice.tell them flat out poor design. I will post pics of all the parts after it is fixed. I still am not happy but better than dealer doing it for $1750 MINUS the SMF. Third call to VWoA said if it was 3/36 it was covered not 5/60. I don't have the space or tools to do this myself. Anyhow, they will install the kit $950 total. They also are puzzled why VWoA won't cover it. They have a vendor that has a clutch kit including a SMF. I called the local VW/Audi shop and made a date to have it fixed. One nice thing they did.$85 instead of $660 tranny pull. They scoped it after they took the starter out. They did give me a picture, not thru email, of a bent finger hitting the release bearing. Can input shaft bearing be pulled without tranny being taken apart? Any thoughts on this? Thanks all!!!!! Said this to dealer and VW Careless Center. If no one can tell will just have local VW shop fix it and never return to a VW dealer or buy another VW. I'm going to local VW shop (non-dealer) to see if they can tell without pulling tranny which bearing it is. They could care less about keeping a customer thru this scandal all I get out of it. $375 for entire job! Now I am leaning towards the input shaft bearing, which, I THINK would be covered under warranty, but haven't returned to stealership yet to ask. Friend was leaning towards throw out bearing (not covered) and I pay full no warranty work ($660 + who knows how much more!). Local dealer wants $660 just to pull tranny to diagnose. No difference in shifting or travel catch since new. ![]()
