Clutch Choices

["Jason Arms" <redbug64@hotmail.com>]

Ok, whell after changing to a new self adjusting clutch cable, and also 
changing the tranny fluid my '87 16v is still shifting very hard at some 
points.  Right now in order to keep the geers from grinding every time, the 
pedal is set to catch almost all the way out.  This makes it slip really bad 
if i wanna get on it.  I was told by a tranny guy that it could be my 
pressure plate??  When i bought the car last summer, the p/o told me that he 
had replaced the clutch.  I always thought that meant everything but maybee 
not.  The worst part about this is that if i still wanna go to waterfest, im 
gonna have to do this soon, as i will not trust my rocco on a 5hr trip.  So 
what are my options for a new clutch/pp/tb?  I have heard alot of people 
talking about Sachs (sp?).  What would this stuff cost me?  How hard is it 
and how long does it take to do?  Any special tools needed?  Im gonna try to 
get a quote from the local vw repair shop for just the labor if i buy my own 
clutch from potterman/adarondack, if its not bad, i may jsut have them do it 
for me to save the hassels.

  On a lighter note, i replaced my fuel transfer pump and filter yesterday, 
and it seems to solve my sputtering problem at high rpm's or speeds. :)  My 
fuel pump still makes the humming sound, but it doesn't sound quite as sick 
as it did before.
