even more clutch crap

[blake at clockworm.com (Blake Irvin)]

pulled (and pretty much destroyed) the end cap on my transaxle (the  
little thing embossed with the VW emblem).  the toothed clutch-rod  
depressor arm works fine, but the bearing cap on the push rod was way  
down in there, and wouldn't come back up by itself.  so i guess it's  
the pressure plate.

i'm not an expert on vw stuff,  but i'm thinking i should just buy  
the clutch parts from the adirondack guys, tow the car to my friend's  
house, rent and engine jack, and get to work -

sound right?
