Where are You situated Phil??

the gearboxes are very good..  I used one with a very loud whine for a few years..
added some Moly additive and the noise eventually went away..
but I have changed gearboxes early this year and filled it with VERY Expensive Synthetic oil
it would have been much cheaper to fill it with ordinary Hypoid oil and some MOLY additive..

You can pull the throwout bearing apart..   [these have unavailable for a long time]
fill it with lithium based Moly grease [only grease to use]
and reassemble it... it should now last just about forever... [maybe longer]lol

Bearings used in VW gearboxes can be VERY expensive and hard to find..

Did you replace the two oil seals that seperate the ATF from the engine oil???
these are now available from evw... 
also the mainshaft oil seal  from evw 001 311 113

cheers

Hi lee
Im over here in cold cold England
My old user name was automaticsamba until my computer started acting up
i couldn't get loged on so i have shortened my user name to auto and every things
working fine now
My vert is the 63 in the pics section i got a little distracted when my daughters beetle
and my old 68 auto stick both needed work fortunatly i got them running again and they
have now gone to new owners now so i can finally get back to the vert,
things came to a halt when i pulled the clutch disc which was worn to the rivets
i had no look traking one down over here so i got a new one from evw and all the
bushes and seals ect.
The body is ready to be dropped back on the pan now i just want to get the gear box
and engine back on the pan and check its all working before the body goes back on
its a lot easier working with the body off i'll post some more pics when i get it to that
stage
cheers phil

Hiya Phil,

Oh boy!  Pictures!

Hi bookwus 
Ok just give me a minute i'll post a couple of new ones in the pics section

Yes,
it would make adjusting the clutch servo and servo ARM a lot easier
if it wasn't so close to the body...
Especially the clutch servo arm..
its nearly impossible to undo or do up the arms locking bolt...

its really unusual to hear of the clutch plate worn so much...
wear is usually very minimal... as the clutch is either IN or OUT
if its adjusted properly...

it virtually shouldn't slip at all...

or maybe all the clutches have been replaced at some time??

it sounds like You will have an easy job of adjusting the clutch etc...
From the Top
instead of laying on Your back looking UP...  lol

the first time I did it... I was adjusting the clutch arm the WRONG way
until I took My Manual to a Mechanic and He said
You adjust it this way....  lol...

I fitted another gearbox early this year...

cheers
