Hi and Welcome

I have been fine tuning My 1968 semi auto Beetle for over 7 years..
and I can finally change gears without the thumping etc...
but it only happens when the engine is warm or hot...
it still thumps etc when its cold....

but it has been thumping for 7 years.... lol

cheers from Australia have it
