i didnt replace the fork it was in working order when i pulled it out. and yes i put a new throwout and pilot bearing on there and i can see the throwout sliding on the input shaft and pressing against the fins of the pressure plate. im pretty sure my slave cylinder is bad do you think it could not have enough pressure it pull itself forward or back enough, because i cant get it bled right to even get a strong pedal because the slave is leaking. could this be the case?

it was rebuilt at industrial injection in salt lake city. it is very clean now they repainted it gloss black and it was kinda clean when i sent it to them but it wasnt that clean, it was just as clean as it was on the truck

 

i can shift gears with the truck off and clutch released... hmmm guessing thats a bad thing..

 

i can do it with the truck running without using the clutch

 

When the shut down solonoid frigs up it will allow the engine to run with the battery 3 towns over. The end chips and does not stop the flow of fuel, hence , engine runs till it has no fuel. If it was run away it would rev up and most likely blow up. THATS ALL IT IS. Usually they chip on a pump that is turned up with small injectors. It gets chipped when you are on the throttle hard and release the throttle all at once. This causes a rush of backed up fuel and that is what frigs it up.

 

i think you guys are right i just ohmed it out like the alldata process shows and it isnt within spec. so ill replace that here soon and use the manual lever to kill it.

now back to the clutch. anyone got ideas?

 

Replacing shutdown solenoids for this purpose is an exercise in futility. If it did it once, it'll do it again.

 

Call up your local VW dealer and give them this part number 0 330 001 040
Its your shut off soilnoid but for like $35...

 

hey rs is 1st and 2nd gen shutoff switches the same and i didnt see if this was 1st or 2nd gen in ttruckparts rig

 

my truck is a first gen. and thanks for that part number ive seen that link before but i couldnt find it.

anyone know about that clutch problem? thats my main concern

 

when i put my south bend in it came with a little spacer to go behinde the pivot ball of the clutch fork if you needed extra travel. i didn't need it but you may need to do something like that.or try replacing your slave and master cylinder, i'd go someone aftermarket for one.
