Well, we pulled the motor out again because it was still chattering real bad. We're going to try another pressure plate (warrantied by Kermit

), and hopefully that'll fix the problem.

Does anybody have a good 12V flywheel they could take some measurements from?

check your bowden tube for the clutch cable. broken tube can cause chatter and sloppy/changing engagement issues.

Well we put the motor back in with the new flywheel (thanks a lot Ethan!) and pressure plate, but I had no idea there was an O-ring inside the flywheel on the crankshaft side

. So we pulled it out again and put that O-ring in, and now it looks like the throw-out bearing went bad, and I have no idea why. It probably has a couple of thousand miles on it, and it's a German Sachs one too :help:

Good to hear that you're finding the problems. You guys should compete in a contest removing a vw engine. I bet you'd finish strong.

Took us 45 min. to pull, and that was without rushing it
