Chrispy_T Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Bloody hell. Thats monkeyed UP. I doubt they would have covered the damage that would have caused. I laughed at "monkeyed" in the quote. That clutch would have shredded the input shaft bearings to hell and back. It would make the car a hell of a good massage chair, though.

boxpin Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Sorry man, I barely have time to work on my own car. Had to take time off work just to finish it. Have you looking into renting one? Costs about $40. I live 2 hours from you, would you drive all they way here and back to save $40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
