Clutch and Transmission is now working!

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

Well 3rd time must have been the charm as I have now gotten the Clutch
working. All I can credit the problem to is corrsion while sitting for the
past few years caused the clutch disk to jam on the splined shaft. I cleaned
it all up good with a wire brush and lubed it with Permex Anti-Sieze. Didn't
have anything else on hand and everyone I talked to had a different
substance to use, Permex Anti-Sieze being one of them so I used it. I use it
on everything to keep it unstuck.
 While I had the tranny out I had to repair the rear studs for the
Tranny/Rear Mount. The front one had literally no threads left on it so I
tapped it to an 8mm size. Not sure what size it is suppposed to be. and the
rear one I use a Thread repair (rented free form AutoZone) to fixe the
threads on the read one which appeard to have been modified to a 3/8" thread
but the nut was a weird copper? almost double thick type.
 Any how thanks for all who contributed with suggestions and assistance.
