I fixed it with a tire repair kit and now it works perfectly. the problem I am having is now I can't get the clutch to diengage          the vacume is always on the servo

Hiya Jerry,

Welcome to the group!

Between your clutch servo and the source for its vacuum, the intake manifold you should find a control valve.  It's mounted in the upper left-hand corner of your engine compartment.  Basically it works to control the vacuum as you shift the car.  It directly regulates the vacuum going to your clutch servo.  It sounds from your description that your control valve is your culprit.
A word of advice (or two)...........  Get yourself (if you do not already have it) the Robert Bentley Official VW Service manual which applies to your car.  In it you will find an exploded view of the control valve, details as to how it works, and a procedure for adjusting it.  And even though it looks complicated in the figures and diagrams it's really a snap to take apart and clean.
Keep us up-to-date on how it goes!

well I got the clutch to shift . It was the wiring attatched to the shifter that was broke. It kind of jumps now when i  shift . What adjustments do I make to get it to smooth out.

Hiya Jerry,

To "sharpen" or "soften" the shifting action you'll need to adjust the control valve.  The adjusting screw can be found on the top of the control valve.  There was originally a plastic cap which covered the adjusting screw.  It may or may not be there at this late date.  The procedure for doing the actual adjustment is outlined in the Bentley.  Basically it just involves turning the screw (to soften or sharpen) and then road-testing for effect.
