Clutch pedal goes to the floor

is it a cable or hydraulic clutch pedal??

Roy

Cable it was replaced first.

did you adjust it properly for about an inch of freeplay??

Roy

Yes but it goes to the floor and stays there, the release rod that goes to the throw out bearing is in to far and the clutch release leaver is not pushed back into place so there is no presure on the clutch its like the clutch is pushed in. thought that replacing the clutch would fix it but its the same.

is the clutch release lever snaped on to the ball stud properly??

Roy

Sounds like he has a different setup than you are thinking of.

is the clutch engaged or disengaged, what happens if you try and push it in gear?

Sorry didn't get back was trying a couple things, then distracted with dinner ect. yes this system, has a clutch lever on the end of the trans, with a release bearing at the end of the trans, then a rod that goes down the center of the main shaft to a plate on the clutch. I figured it would be a standard stick system when I took on the job. and that after it wasn't the cable that it had a fork in the trans but it didn't. it has a rod and lever system
I going to hook every thing up and see what happens next, other than taht got to pull it6 all back out.

Thank you exovcds , lots of good info, found an cracked actuation finger, witch was most likely the whole problem to begin with. Will try to fix and try it.

Yes, actuator finger (release lever) is a common problem.

I am surprised to hear of an 020 Transmission in this Passat. Where
is the car from?

Its in Tacoma wash. but who knows were it came from we get people from all over here. The parts people at the VW dealership are having a hard time finding the part? I found it on line its a wo133-1627781, They think some one may have converted it.
