It sound correct. I have the 2H in my 16v. Drop that sucker and DRIVE!

I can push it up to just past level, and then it moves no more (by

turns the wheels(both in same direction btw), but spinning one wheel
still just spins the other in the opposite direction. My car is an '83
8v with a 2H trans. I just reattached the clutch cable- it does pull
the trans lever past the semi-level point I got to by hand. I turned
engine with clutch out, and it turns wheels. push clutch in, and it
doesn't turn the wheels. Is it just a common Scirocco thing to have the
wheels just turn each-other oppositely? I swear they used to NOT.
thanks so much-

You should be able to lift the lever by hand to a point just above level
and then meet resistance that you can't continue past. If resistance is
constantly easy enough to raise by hand to 30 degrees+ above level, the
problem could be:
1. You perhaps forgot to install the release plate in the pressure plate
2. The center of the release plate is gone allowing the release rod to
pass through and it's stuck inside
3. The release rod is somewhere around the car 'cause it slid out when
the transmission was out.
What does your clutch pedal do?
The issue with the splines:
If you have a 16v that someone has changed the transmission to an early
8v (pre '93?) the splines on the 8v transmission input shaft are smaller
than the splined hole in the 16v disk. This is normally accompanied by a
grinding noise.

It seems that there is a little resistance. How much should there be?
I didn't check the splines but it was a Sachs clutch and I assumed it
worked, it didn't seem to have problems-

Is there resistance on the release lever?
Did you test fit the disk on the splines of the input shaft?

Hey all, please help me! After installing a new clutch/pressure
plate(pretty sure I did everything right), I can't get the clutch to
engage the engine. The front is up in the air, I turned the pass wheel
and it kind of turned the engine a little, then i heard kind of a konk,
snap and it stopped turning. Turned out the drivers side CV shaft
snapped because I rebuilt it wrong. So I replaced it ASAP, and when in
gear(tried most of them), spinning the tire just turns the other tire in
the opposite direction, and doesn't turn the engine at all. I thought
the clutch cable might be screwed up(actually I knew it was) so I
replaced it, still doesn't turn the engine. I disconnected the cable at
the tranny to be sure that the clutch lever was fully engaged, still NO
turning of the engine, just spins the opposite wheel in the opposite
direction. Please help! I can't think of what could've gone wrong...
