    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can it get worse?? clutch rod bent too

OK.. Thanks for help on my post about shift rod...
Now for worse news... It looks like the PO must have had a chain break or something. The actuator rod for the clutch wobbles where it comes out of the engine on the left side. It looks okay coming out of the seal, but there is a slight bend. This must have been the cause for the extra-heavy clutch lever when I bought it. (I had assumed a few clutch plates were frozen.)


So now I have two bent shafts, one for the shifter & one for the clutch.

How do I get this out and back in? I can't find it in the service manual or the Clymer.
Item #1 is what is bent:

It should just pull out ! Make sure to replace the seal too.

I need some more help with this. The seal came off with no problem, do I just yank the rod out now? In the pic #2 is metal, how do I remove it?

How do I hook this thing back up?


Nevermind.... I figured it out. Had to cut it off in order for it to pass through. It was bent to much.
