Finally got my clutch in- and finally know exactly how a clutch works. it
is a bit grabbier than I expected with the new one, but I did get to hear a
tire chirp when shifting into 3rd. That was pretty cool. I assume it will
mellow out a bit, or I will learn to be smoother soon. I learned from Les
that I had a bad aftermarket release bearing. He sent the correct part, but
it did not fit the plastic release bearing sleeve I had. Thanks to Les for
helping me get it figured out, and rushing out the correct part so I could
get the borrowed hoist back to its owner. (Les- the other bearing is on its
way back to you).
Thanks to all on the list that helped me out with some other random clutch
and part questions. If it wasn't for this list, I would not have my car.
With help I have received from the list, I have fixed all the problems I
have had (so far). Now, I can't really see ever getting rid of it.
So my dash question- all my gauge lights work, but they are all pretty dim.
I would like to get some brighter bulbs in there (at least in the oil
pressure gauge. Can any one offer recomendations for bulbs? (high
windshield-ugly dash bulbs) I recently replaced all the burned out ones, and
the contacts looked pretty clean so I don't know if that will help.
