Germans are sorta weird, but I think that clutch was only used from 1975-6 through 1999.
Very True....but man! oh man! That's THE EASIEST throw-out bearing change you can EVER do..... pop a 3 inch cap, loosen the clutch cable, pull it out with your fingers and slap the new one in place! No tools other than a screwdriver to pry the cap off! Hahahahaha!
