As all the newbies on the list know (and hi to all of you and to all of you
learned folks, too), doing anything the first time is hard.
Yesterday, on the way home with my SO in my '76B, the clutch MC blew. Made
it home in 3rd through the 10 mph streets where I live. An interesting
experience planning my movements for turns 150 yards ahead. And I thought
the drips on the garage floor were engine oil!
Anyway, I am planning to attempt it myself. 2 years I've had the car and
every repair is new to me, so as a newby to this problem, what kind of a
job is a clutch MC and is it in the realm of home repair? Now I've read
numerous notes on the list about clutch MC repair successes but no one
really says what they knew before they started.
In the immortal words of that large actor playing the German soldier in
Stalag 17 with the late Bob Crane, I know that "I know nothing" about this
job. So I looked in the Moss catalog and Bentley's...it doesn't look horrid.
But I'd appreciate the voice of experience before I start.
TIA,
Bill Saidel, '76B, :-( grounded for now
