Nice! I guess if no one had clutch problems, you could have pulled one of Jim's transmissions just to stay in practice!
 To anyone who was there, what's the 368 like? I definitely want a ride in that thing one of these days. |

Re: Westminster MD - WMD on Sunday April 17
The transmission pull was required when we saw the trail of oil on the alley when Paul moved his Z about 50' We put the car on the lift and determined that it had to be the transmission oil leaking. We checked the oil level in the transmission and it was very low. When we got the clutch apart, there was so much oil in there that the clutch face and the flywheel face were slick with oil. No wonder the clutch was slipping. Luckily, Paul still had the clutch disc that a mechanic took out just 200 miles ago when the mechanic replaced the slave cylinder to fix the slipping clutch.
 I guess the mechanic didn't notice all the oil in there.Jim |
