" From: Todd Tomason <jayscore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> " " The T5 in my 83 Spirit has started making a new noise. As you release the " clutch, there's kind of a clang or twang about two inches before the pedal " is completely released. I listened to it from under the car today while my " son pushed the pedal in and out. The noise seems to be coming from the " transmission, in the general area of the clutch. (No surprise.) I have not " noticed any changes in how it shifts. I know very little about the inner " workings of manual transmissions. Any ideas what this might be? How " concerned should I be? it is coming from the bellhousing, not the tranny itself? feel anything through the pedal? armchair quarterbacking - your pressure plate is beginning an unusual sort of failure which will ultimately leave it permanently engaged. remedy - clutch job. if the noise -is- coming from the clutch, disassembly and sleuthing is the next step anyways. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
