M.T.Hands Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 it is amazing what a little bit of wear will do to clutch function, at times I love Hydraulic TO bearings, other times I cuss them, The older Hotrods I fooled with really made me hate z bars/bellcranks and heavy clutch/pressure plate combos, and then a compound fracture in my left leg made auto's the clear choice, I enjoy a manual in just about anything the hydraulics have made that tolerable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted December 29, 2024 Author Share Posted December 29, 2024 This definitely has a heavy clutch feel but I’m fortunate enough that, of my two bad knees, my right knee is the worse of pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neohic Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Time to shed some winter weight. I didn’t take any in-process pictures but I’m sure you can connect the dots. It’s raincoat still fits too, so that’s good. Might need to get serious about a YJ spring swap too. All (important) fluids got changed today and I found three of the four shackle mounts have some level of cracks. The springs are clapped out along with every bushing being cracked and gone. Pretty sure the tires living at 20 psi is more suspension than the suspension is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 Time to get back to the transmission. It still has a rattle since I did the swap and I’m pretty sure I didn’t do it any favors using whiz-bang Royal Purple gear oil. Do your stuff, gooey magic sauce! It got a quart of Lucas and three quarts of 80/90 dinosaur juice. First impressions are pretty good. I’m also certain that these things belong to others things in the transmission. It’s quiet?… er?… maybe? Still need to make suspension decisions. Probably fix what’s there in the mean time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
