Randy -

My 1979 245 had a similar problem. I adjusted the cable length, only ot find the next day the problem had returned. Several days of that and there was no more cable left with which to adjust. In fact, the thing quit disengaging altogether.

As you know, there are way to drive a car in that condition, and with a tach it's a lot easier. Teach your son how, just in case.

The problem was the disengagement arm. That's the one with a pivot on the RH end, the cable on the LH end, and the throwout bearing in the middle. The arm had lost it's temper, or something, and was bending a little every time the I stepped on the clutch pedal.

That was a this is a job I out-sourced, since I do not have a clear garage. Needless to say, while you're in there, do everything. Rear main seal, pilot bearing, flywheel and clutch pressure plate re-finishing, new clutch disc, all of it.


Good luck,

Bob
