Hi Matt,
Maybe they're related - if enough oil ran down from the loose breather
hose to soak the clutch and cause it to slip. You might try the old
"mineral spirits clutch wash trick". I forget the exact particulars (how
much? how long? where do you fill if no timing plug?), but maybe someone
else can fill you in. Cheers,
Charlie

Put a clamp on it, and I'm going to hose it off and see if it leaks any more. one for the ...DUH... files now if only my slipping clutch was something so simple. Matt Moore in MI |
