My poor spouse learned to drive stick shift on a 1965 Beetle whose clutch had to be pulled back with string. Awful. That’s a great fix for the damper.

Now I will sit back and wait for a ACA comment. (Abscate Cheapism Award)!!!

I wanted to update this thread. I was able to get the servo motor out and it was very easy. that one little torx screw was all it took and it slide right out. the motor is bad for sure. after disconnecting the flapper arm and switching the vent button open and closed, the motor stutters bad with nothing attached to it.

got a replacement on the way thanks to Neil for the help with that. fingers crossed it does the job. when it gets here i am going to take apart my original one and see if there is any way to repair it.

just 2 simple tabs towards the front of the car and a single screw facing the rear of the car holds it in
