70 VW Beetle
Answer
Hi I'm new to this site and these forums.
I very much suspect that if you are sure that you're not having the exhaust or some other part of the engine itself getting stuck on the bodywork, your problem is that you havn't got the clutch disc aligned correctly. I'd pull the engine back out, remove pressure plate and realign the clutch disc once again. Since as I said I'm new here and cant promise to hang around this site that often, please dont hesitate to shoot me an email if still in difficulty. I'm no pro but I have pulled out my fair share of a/c VW engines.
May I also suggest you to visit the forums at both http://www.Cal-Look.com and http://www.shoptalkforums.com
These are VW specific and I'm sure someone including pros will chime in and help.
