Hello All, Just have a quick question, I have a 72 1.7, It has been unseasonably cold up here in northern Arizona. I took the opportunity while my car was tucked safely away in the garage due to the snow to make a few small repairs, speedometer cable and such, It was 20 degrees and wet outside but decided to go for a test rip around the block to see if my speedo was working. I think I felt a little clutch chatter under hard acceleration in 2nd gear, never did it before and I drive it all the time, but I have never driven it when it was this cold outside and It wasnt even warmed up. My question is if the extreme cold could cause the clutch to "chatter" alittle bit under hard accel? Any input would be welcomed, Thanks!

914 noises, yeah!, love the mystery.. Sometimes it is as stupid as a broken jack retaining strap (happend to me) other times it is a coming event. Being it is a faint oddity you may have figure on finding it yourself, and or wait until it presents itself in a more obvious manner.

an example, I had a faint tiny squeky noise for 6 months, even asked passengers do you hear that? SO I replaced all the wheel bearings, still there. Put a new alt. belt, still there.. 6 months mind you.. I would hear it but had pretty much given up.. then Bam!! Squeek went to a full blown screeech!!, pulling out of a parking spot at the grocery store.. Alternator died, replace the alt. no more squeky squeky....

Good Luck you will find it, or it will find you... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
