I remember reading that someone makes a clutch tube repair kit but cant for the life of me remember who. The clutch tube is pulled in on this car and I want to do it now before I get things going too far. Where can I get one? Anybody know?

Alternative fix. I had a similar problem with mine many, many years ago. I didn't have access to a welder in my garage, so as a "temporary fix" -
I removed the clutch tube ( it was loose at both the front and rear), and took it to the lab where I work, and had a piece of 3/16 inch steel (about 1.5 x 3inches) welded to the tube, similar to that shown in the photo above. I then drilled two 1/4 inch holes through the plate and through the firewall. Then I just bolted the tube back into place. Other than the two bolts, the nuts which are accessed through the removable plate inside the car on the tunnel, it looks similar to the photo. (added some sealant around the outside). At the front of the tunnel, I used a pair of conduit clamps that wrapped around the tube and bolted through the floorboard. I know this is not pretty, but it lasted over 100,000 miles after I did this, longer than the original tube attachment. I just recently replaced the floorpan due to rust elsewhere, and took advantage of having good access to put the clutch tube back to original. Joe |
