My son went out to Amherst, broke the clutch cable.
Anyone nearby, or does anyone know of a place close by that has a clutch cable? EMAIL me r_towle@yahoo.com Rich |

Well,
I called Mark at Autosport Engineering, these guys are awesome. He did not have one, but found one and had it delivered to his place by 4pm... I was at some meetings, called up and he said he had it in hand. So, I went home got all my greasy clothes on, had dinner and took lots of tools, and flashlights. Just got home. Overall, its a 15 min issue, but my son misplaced the clevis for the front of the cable, and that turned into a complete cleaning of his car, both seats came out, etc.. I went inside and got a coat hanger, and other implements of mickey mouse, and came out with a good plan to get it home... then, after about 1.5 hours...the part jumped back into this universe and we put it all back together. I hate loosing those special parts. So, we are home, he has a good cable, all stretched and adjusted. I did not want him to "learn" how to drive it without a clutch...that could just mean I get to rebuild his tranny... All safe, and he even loved his tour of the campus..so that was good. My other son goes there, so he had a place that was warm and dry, and he had food while he waited. Rich |
