Thanks to everyone who responded to my clutch question.
It had not occurred to me that it could be a thrust washer problem. That
sounds frightening but maybe easier to fix. So...
Let me guess. This might show up as a forward movement of the crank pulley
when the clutch is depressed. To check further or fix, I drop the oil pan to
gain access to the crank from below. What will I see? How big are these
mythical thrust washers? At which end of the crank (if they're not in the oil
pan)? Is the replacement procedure reasonably obvious?
I've never done anything like this before. At least not on this sort of car
and not in the last 30 years.
Tanks,
