Lannis,

Mine was doing the same thing till I ran some mineral spirits thru the
hole on the right side of the tranny and ran it a bit like that in gear
and exercising the clutch. After all the darkness left the spirits I was

one with the universe again and no more problems with the clutch.

Paul -

Well, I can take the evil spirits out of onions by cooking them, and get
the evil spirits out of pinto beans by soaking them in a baking soda
solution before cooking, so I suppose the evil spirits might come out of
my clutch if I soak it in turpentine. Can't hurt to try, I guess.

But that would imply that it's just dirty or contaminated or something.
I've about convinced myself that the intermediate plate is "dishing" or
warping. I'd really like to be wrong, though.

How much mineral spirits? Just a little squirt or would I sluice a pint
or so in there?

Thanks!

Lannis
