clfitz@ns1.cwv.net: Thanks, clutch question

[scirocco.gti@juno.com (Mark Peele)]

Assuming you're dealing with original drive trains, the clutches are the
same. The 210 mm flywheel/clutch was used on the JH equiped (83-84 & on)
US models. All prior US models came with 190mm.

Spring for the new clutch - a complete kit can be had for less than $100.

Ahhh 1981 . . .  what color?

Hey, everyone!

I just wanted to thank everyone for the help with my '81.

I've just about got it in new condition, drivetrain-wise.  New struts 
and springs at all four corners (stolen from my '77, which will 
probably never run again), new front wheel bearing and one front hub, 
replaced an injector, replaced alternator.  Put in the beginnings of 
a cool stereo, too.  While I was at it, I got rid of a few squeaks 
and rattles; just had to tighten the occasional nut or screw.

I guess I'm gonna have to put a clutch in it, though.  I plan to 
swipe the one from the '77, if it'll fit.  I seem to recall there 
being two sizes of disc, or something.  Does anybody know if the '77 
clutch will go in my '81?

I'm tellin' ya, it feels like a new car!!  Quiet, steady, turns like 
a demon, excellent in rain and snow.  I swear, I think it's faster 
than my Z-28, which ain't no slouch.  I *know* it's more comfortable 
to drive.

I love this car!
