Matt:

After 10 hours on my back under the car and my hands shaking from fatigue as I attempted to turn those nice little nuts on the driveshaft that defied my socket a negative thought or two often crossed my mind.

I rebuilt the clutch because last fall an intermittant squealing noise started to eminate from that area during warm up. The noise seemed to be most prominant in first and second gear but also occured sometimes with the car in nuetral. I suspected a bearing coming to the point of failure. The pilot bearing, clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing were replaced with new and a resurfaced flywheel was installed.

I am holding a positive attitude that the linkage adjustment will make things right but if I need to take the clutch down a second time at least I know what's involved. Pedal action previously was pretty solid so I hope the fork is okay. If the assembly comes down again I will definitely check the fork. Was yours flexing in an obviously detectable manner?

Joe
