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.

Alright man I can hook you up. I have a rebuilt 2.0 clutch that I took out of a car i just stripped. Let it go for 150 and I'll even through in a CHT sensor. I have a set of catory heat exchangers but they have all but rotted the heat exchanger off. Just do without the heat for awhile.
Change your plugs, put NGK plugs in there, run some Regane through the fule system, check the valves and timing. Then start worrying about the other problems. Drive the car if it has been sitting for awhile and a lot of the problems will clear themselves up. Make sure the front seal on the tranny is not leaking and coating the disk in fluid. You can pick up a new disk from Kennedy for 100$. I did that if there is no damage to the pressure plate or throwout bearnig it is worth the gamble. |
