STRANDED!! (Finale)

[scirokn@hotmail.com (Scirokn InVirginia)]

Well my temporary fix lasted 6 days....this time it went and we were about 
30 miles from home and I said,
"f%#k it I'm not stopping and drove it all the way home speed shifting and 
only stalled at my STEEP driveway. I realized that the part that broke was 
actually part of the clutch assembly that projects through the firewall. Not 
wanting to try and replace the whole thing, this time I found a 2" dia. flat 
washer with a 3/4" hole. Got a pack of "JB Weld" gunked it all over it and 
let it sit in the sun for 9 hrs. Hard as a rock...After getting the cable 
reattached, the clutch released within the 1st 2" of stroke....sweet.  
POINTER!!! If you've got a really tight clutch and need to reattatch the 
cable to the foot pedal, put a hydraulic jack under the clutch lever on the 
tranny and crank it up about 2" realeasing the spring. This gave me enuff 
slack to place the clip on the pedal by hand with no tugging at all. Worked 
like a charm....:)
