Backin up the driveway, I was entertained by a very loud screech, and thick smoke billowing out from under Frog's bonnet.
I've known that the clutch thrust bearing has been dodgy for quite some time.
But have never had one die so spectacularly before.
A big thanks to R & E Auto in Croydon who were kind enough to pull a thrust bearing out of a kit, so I wouldn't have to walk back again next day. (they just ordered a replacement to stick back into the kit)
Apparently theres 2 types and I have the type in the 2nd opened kit
Even the brake/clutch place said no, too hard, have to order one in.
I think Frog is jealous of me workin on the Tadpole too much.
Been a water pump, a uni and now the clutch.
Best to go back into maintainence mode again.
Whats wrong with my clutch ??

Re: Whats wrong with my clutch ??
Your not suppose to practice your welding on the internals of the transmission !
Remember the experts guide to car maintenance - if it aint broke - don't fix it. So now I'll go back out to the shed and disassemble some other unsuspecting piece of Feroza.
