New Guy on the block

Thanks for the warm welcome guys

I have made great progress planning out my attack in just one day

The only clutch that is not twice the cost of a stock unit appears to be the Ford Motorsports unit. All of these want me to convert to the adjustable quadrant,and the FMS one mentions "other modifications"

I am planning on getting a new flywheel, doesn't even seem worth trying to get is surfaced as this would be at least the third clutch on this car. The clutch is not totally smoked as the car is movable, feels spongy on the pedal but the tranny feels really smoked, I could feel clunking barley moving, my guess is blown out imput shaft as noise is made in neutral.

So new flywheel new stock clutch kit, stock cable, used T-5 ( thanks to smokemup)

I may regret not moving up to a beefier clutch later, but the car is totally stock right now, even has the silencer still

The stock stuff is half the price so I can upgrade later when more $$ is avaiable. Plus I gotta find a coolant leak since several prestone jugs were strewn around the interior although no obvious leaking was visable. Needs back tires, what a shocker
