First drive, and more bad news Options

[Ctrout]

Well, I got the car registered with a clear title. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I just got back from my first test drive and I am not a happy camper again. The clutch is slipping quite badly. I can eventually get it up to speed but have to be very careful or the engine will rev very high while the car does not accelerate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) What was originally a great purchase has just become very average as I have priced a clutch kit already. The worst part is, after I paid for the registration and stuff, my budget is at zero. My agreement with my wife was $100 a month so looks like the car won't see the road again until November. I would go and get some beer to drown my sorrows but I have to save for tha clutch now.

Clutch engages in the top 1/2 inch or so of pedal travel so it sounds like a simple cable adjustment should work. Now on to the hot stalling problem i yet another new thread.

Don't dispare too much. Best I can help out would be to get you the 3 main peices if you need them for $300 plus shipping from Seattle. Disc, Plate and Throw out bearing. Not sure if that is a good deal these days. But they are all three new peices. Keep the chin up. The first time you can drive with the top off on a sunny day will pay for all the hard work you put into the little 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
