Re: dying cows

The car doesn't have a throw out bearing...  They can make awful noises..
Once I had a 1942 Dodge business coupe fluid drive that the mounting bolts
for the torque converter has loosened and was making a pretty good noise
spinning against the rear main seal.  Maybe a squirt of WD40 up through the
inspection plate may alter the noise and help pinpoint the trouble if you
can't actually see it.

But the starter sounds most likely to be involved in this to me.  Let us
know what you find and how you fix.

Lots of times these old cars pick up new ailments simply from being parked.
The oil settles out and sediments can cake up the works, the coolant
sometimes turns to acid, gaskets dry and shrink, hoses rot and crack, and
then there are squirrels, rats and mice, and chickens and cats that get into
them not to mention two legged coyotes.

Subject: dying cows

Not being completely familiar with dying cows and the
sound they make, can you relate automobile noises that
compare to hissing cockroachs, beer can pyramids
falling or angry wives? How about bear rumaging or
fingernails on chalkboards......Russ
