clutch problem
No hatred, just a simple mathematical solution, self-adjusting clutch cable
- 40-60$, non self adjusting - 8-12$.
Personally never had a self adjusting cable in any Scirocco I own, but from
what I hear in general, they are expensive, and eventually break down a lot
faster than the simple non-adjusting cable. But I am not against them per
say.

->What is with all this hatred of the self-adjusting clutch
->cable. I still have the original on mine and I love it.
->Never needs adjusting, feels like I have a hydro clutch and
->sure as hell doesn't feel like I'm pushing a brick through
->the floor like all the manual cable cars I've driven (I'm
->sure that last part is due to poor adjustment though).
->
->Personally, I'd rather have the self adjuster on my car. So
->if you have on in good shape, don't chunk it, just ship it to
->me, I'd love to have a few spares just incase mine ever does crap out.
