My husband and I own a small VW Westfalia rental business. Two of our campervans are standard. Both (even after clutch updates) often need double clutching to get into first gear. It seems the gear track is shallow if that makes any sense. It there a way to fix this that isn't incredibly expensive?

 

Optional Information:
1986 Volkswagen Westfalia in the back

hi

Basicly if you have put in the clutch update and that did not fix it im assuming it is a hydraulic system your slave might have air in it or master might be bad try bleeding the system first then if that does not fix it it should be the master cylinder in the clutch system you could also have synchro issues inside the trans if those other repairs do not work
