Throw out bearing question
Does anyone know of an easy way to inspect the throw out bearing on a 2002 Turbo S, with a six speed transmission? I suspect that's the issue, (it's pretty noisy when the clutch pedal is not pressed, and quiets when it's pressed down) but want to get a look if it's possible. The noise is much more noticeable when the AC is on, I imagine from the extra load from the compressor, still...seems odd.
I also wonder if any of you knowledgeable folks knows if I might just need a clutch and differential alignment. I was reading a manual (not a great one really I don't think) but it suggested I needed that done as it fits another issue. It doesn't have cruise control function in 5th or 6th gear, works in fourth and down just fine but no worky in 5 or 6. The clutch has been replaced with a stage two, but I don't know if it was aligned or if the diff was either, I didn't own it then.
I'd consider replacing the differential if anyone here has any suggestions! In the last beetle I had a Peloquin LSD and it was fantastic! This one here (Think it's stock) feels like it's trying to correct and there's just too much power pushing. I need something more locked in I think. Anyone else have any thoughts or insights they can offer up to a fellow beetle daily driver?
