Easy job and will be worth the couple of hours work. You can also change the g-box oil to synthetic oil which can sometimes take away the 'crunch!'

Conversely both the GTI and Caddy (180K and 120K respectively) are fine. Both have 75/90 semi synthetic in and new bushing.
I?m sure that replacing the bushing will improve matters greatly.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I've bought off ebay as well a plate you can stick on the bulkhead to save welding, and it was only a fiver. I think mine is on its way out as well. After welding i had my clutch adjusted every now and again and it would solve the problem.
Good luck and hooray for cheap fixes!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
