Hi, Fred. Some of us have a PC or two at home! Today the weather is beeyouteeful and I'm gonna' be in the garage pulling the tranny out of Nigel instead of driving either Nigel or Percy. Gotta' find that chirp. Nigel (the guy at Spitbits, not the car) tells me that it is probably a missing or broken pin on the throwout arm and must be fixed. Bummer. Just got everything back together too. Still, there are worse ways to spend a weekend! (I posted a query on this to triumphs@autox but not spitfires@autox. The story is that after I put it all back together it chirps when the clutch is engaged, but slight pressure on the pedal makes the noise change pitch or go away. The usual TR6 analysis, as described so well by Nelson Riedel on the Buckeye Triumphs website, doesn't seem to apply because the clutch arrangement is different, with the TO bearing always in contact with the finger springs. So today the whole dadgummed thing comes apart ag'in. With luck it will be back together by Tuesday.) -- Jim Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] '80 Spitfire, '70 GT6+ /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
