2000 Passat, clutch, too short?

Careful, you'll wear out your "?" key.

I was going to say that anyone with the brain of a flea could figure it out, but then you'd make a snide comment back, other would join in, and the whole thread would go to hell, so I won't say anything.

Jetta - Apparently stiffer synchros require more effort to move.

Passat - Only need 2 fingers to move shifter, not both hands.

- Different cars shift differently. Maybe one has worn parts?

Jetta - Clutch disengages just before pedal hits the floor, and begins to re-engage as soon as you start lifting your foot, making it easier to control by using the floor as a reference point.

Passat - Clutch disengages nearer the top of the pedal's downstroke, making it harder to control, as the re-engagement point is somewhere in mid-air.

- Might be able to "un-adjust" the Passat to make it disengage later in the stroke.
