Re: Bad clutch
I have a under-car transmission jack if you want to borrow it. It was quite a relief after years of trying to bench press those cast iron, 18-spline Chrysler A833 trannies. They make those M-22's feel like they're made out of balsa wood. You're welcome to borrow it. It think I'm only about 20 minutes from you. PM me if you need it. -Steve

Re: Bad clutch
That is a shame on the clutch deal Albert. Its always something! I like Hayes. There is one in my Z/28 now. Keep your head up. The bugs will get worked out. You have a great car. Sam

Re: Bad clutch
One of the causes of early clutch failures is "hanging" the transmission while trying to get it seated in the pilot bushing. Just one second of off-center weight on the disc ruins it. That is why it is so critical to use a tranny jack or some other device to completely support the weight of the trans while you slide it into place. (I've learned from experience!
 )
