[drivetrain?] need help please, please? [open me]

["Dan Snow" <danws@tampabay.rr.com>]

ok, in light of all these other postings with shit like 'how old are you'
and 'I love Win XP' I wanted to re-ask my request for help because I have a
Scirocco in distress and I want to keep it on the road so I may continue to
enjoy it :)

[OT content: I am 26 years old, am running Windows 2000 Pro, and will
definitely NOT buy any parts from that J P guy]

Now, onto my dilemma:

When I am driving down the road (usually under hard acceleration) I get the
sound of crunching leaves. I think the clutch is shot. And here's why:
if I'm in traffic and let out partially on the clutch in first and then push
the clutch in again, it was kinda grabbing a little bit. But not enough to
move the car. I don't hear that sound or feel that sensation anymore. If
anyone wants to hear the sound, feel free to e-mail me with your number and
I'll call you real quick and drive the car around the cul de sac a few
times.
This sound isn't accompanied by any kind of shaking or crunchy feelings in
handling (as was the case when my AGB tranny did the SMS on me).
I got the cv joints swapped with the truck, so it's not a cv issue.

I'll probably have an answer tomorrow when something goes cowshit down
there....so I'll be sure to share the experience then. In the meantime, if
anyone else has any ideas, I'm open to 'em. I'd rather fix her now then wait
& fix more shit later.


Thanx!
