    developed clutch rattle on the way to work today should I?

    drive it home or get a truck? It begins to rattle at about 3 grand and stops when the clutch gets pulled in. I have about 15 miles on 35-40 mph roads to get home. I figure the clutch hub nut is coming loose.

    Thanks

    You have the locking washer, so you should be alright. The thread are probably streched out. I don't have a truck so I'd ride it. If I had one, I might haul it.

    Get the APE HD nut. $15 or so. Well worth it.

      After getting home with the truck I found the horn loose and vibrating against the underside of the tank. :roll:
