no load, just 3 people + gear. Its was very odd as we had been driving around going from spot to spot for quite a while with no problem. When it happened we were pretty shocked I tried everything I could as I did not want to come to a stop but eventualy had to when the clutch couldnt hold first. After letting is cool for about 5 min I was able to rock it back and forth in R and L a few times then get it into first and inch my way out.Quote:

On a side note it looks like my windshield is popping out. Has anybody had this problem before?

gorilla snot?
I would replace the slave/master cylinder. Maybe you got some air in the line that heated up or something smart....
Mine had a pin hole leak in it once that would only suck air in, not out. The clutch pedal level kept rising until one day it was all the way up and the clutch would slip. I had to get on the side of the road and just take the slave out. Then drive home with no clutch. It was fun.
well it looks like this fawk up is going to end up costing me about 600 bucks since I can't install a clutch right now. I'm kinda pissed because I spent the extra money to get a valair clutch that was supose to be ba. Valair says I should be able to find a shop that will put it in for 300-350 but everywhere I have called is 500-600 + I'll have to fix the flywheel.
Does anybody know of a shop that will do it for less?
That ***** smells horrible even today with light driving, and no slipping.
like i said on the phone. i could get you hooked up all day long around here for $300. machining a flywheel is $50 tops. why cant you just drive the ford to CS and we will replace it in your shop next week?
you been eatin your wheaties?Quote:

The owner dan gave the best explanation when he said something alond the lines of the presurre plate might have messed up for an instant and now the facings are toast. I'm still pissed I think they should atleast upgrade my clutch or help with instal cost, not give me a run-a-round for three days. I have dealt with alot worste companies but was expecting better from valair.Quote:

Oh it is the most unpleasurable tranny I have ever removed!

i think he said they were replacing the clutch. but with his broken hand he'll have to pay someone to fix it
