[DML] Re: Clutch woes

["John Rydholm" <ebondefender@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can kind of relate to that. I had a new clutch installed recently 
as well. I gave my car to the local guy in town near where my 
parents used to live to refinish my flywheel and install the clutch. 
Big mistake. Not only did he take two months fixing OTHER cars 
first, but my manual trans has incredible difficulty shifting. It 
tends to get stuck in reverse and is almost impossible to shift into 
5th. The clutch is a brand new Valeo kit which I got from John 
Hervey. I have every confidence that the parts are just fine. I 
usually buy from him or PJGrady's site. But I think the mechanic may 
have misaligned my gear tubes or something, or screwed up my neutral 
gate. That's what one of my car buff friends told me. My dad thinks 
it's synchros but he's a pessimist. :P Yeah, and maybe a meteor will 
fall on the car too. geez! I currently have my D at a classic car 
specialist near Detroit. He's the man. He did a serious wiring 
restoration on her once before and I'm sure he will figure out what 
the heck's wrong with my trans. It's about the only part of my car I 
have not fixed. Once I get this thing all fixed up I'll try and 
borrow a digital camera and post some pics for you all. The 
stainless steel, the ripped leather seats, ahh the constrast. She's 
a great car to go get ice cream in. Or speed in the rain and listen 
to Megadeth. Take care all! -John- proud owner of a stupid Plymouth 
Duster as a spare car
