GENERATOR Before I went to Les Schwab to re-adjust the brakes, I had to switch generators. I'm an expert at this now. One rule I discovered of mechanical repair Always Fasten the Most Difficult Bolt to Align First. In this case the front bolt had to go through three holes.
BRAKES: Again a perfect job by Les Schwab. Unfortunately, only in the West.http://lesschwab.know-where.com/lesschwab/cgi/index?design=default&lang=en&mapid=US&mapid=US
CLUTCH: My clutch it slipping in 3rd under strain because I think there is oil on the clutch. Gary Brinton has replacements for $125 or so. I don't think I should drive those 700 miles without replacing the current one. I don't think there's a way to clean it without pulling it out. I did add copper washers on the back section of the oil pan and the pan has been sealed recently., but the horse is out of the barn.
In the meantime, the car is running beautifully. Am I happy or what?
