new 020 tranny symptoms

[wolfsburg16v@hotmail.com (Tony Morehead)]

well, i got the transmission off last night, but it appears that i had the 
clutch on facing the right directition anyway.  any more ideas of what it 
could be? there is a little bit of metallic dust that stuck to the 
transmission main shaft like a magnet.
