I am afraid isn't much of a story, unless maybe your a Stephen King Fan
Most of it is attributed to lack of experience, carelessness, and just
Triumphs Law.
Well you asked for it. Paul, Drum roll please.
1. When I purchased the care the clutch was shot so I replaced the
clutch.
2. After replacing the clutch I noticed the new throwout bearing
sitting on the counter, DOH!. I figured I'd wait a couple of weeks and
enjoy the car first but it only lasted a day or two.
3. after a week the clutch felt like it was going out, yanked it off
again, That is how I learned the Hard way about the infamous "floating
Crank" (for the hell of it I did replace the thrust washer in hopes of
avoiding the inevetable but much to my shagrin It just spit it back
out. I did drive it for another 5ooo mile before replacing the
engine, rane great except for being a bit 'pokey')
4. Was pushing in on my clutch one day and it went all to wayto the
floor, After filling the master a few times and looking for leaks
I came ti the conclusing the it have been coating my clutch.
5. That damn little pin in the bell housing that holds the TO bearing
fork vanished. I wish I had known to replace it with a bolt. Now that
was a spectacle!! Bearing and Clutch "bits" everywhere.
6. Well, Um, er, It sure seemed like six.
If I had only belonged to this group back then I would have saved
myself a lot of trouble even by lurking.
Thanks to all who helped with my Ignition Woes, I went with the crane
cam and it purrs like a kitten, well, maybe a kitten with a cold.
I can think of a few more, but I am already starting to feel a draft.
Maybe if we got a good thread going I would throw a few more out
there.
Enjoy,
David Clark
