Come out and drive something older and slower than anything you own…

I picked up a car on June 25th for a good deal, and had a blast with it until the afternoon of the 27th when the clutch disintegrated into several pieces while on the highway.  Fortunately, a local shop in town had the clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing in stock and for a pretty reasonable price.  I bought the pieces ASAP and had a couple friends help me work on pulling it apart this past Wednesday.  We took our time working on the car.  All in all, including a couple of hours trying to figure out how we were going to get one of the driveshafts out and having food, it was out within approximately 6 hours.

Friday night Chris came over and we got the freshly machined flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate up as well as replacing the release bearing.  Yesterday I had another friend of mine over to help out.  We re-aligned the clutch a couple of times and up went the transmission (and down a few times too).  Hopefully I can get it in today and have the car up and running for the week so I have plenty of time to break in the clutch.
