Clutch experience

[Green Beret]

Clutch Problem and more

Had my clutch fixed.They removed the transaxle assemble found the pressure plate and flywheel heat checked. All was replaced. Good thing I took it in as they found fluid leaking from the axle shaft area and also from the vent tube area. Resealed the output shaft flange area. They removed the vent and installed a 2mm shim on the vent tube to raise it up out of the transaxle to correct the siphon concern.
Now runs great, and what good Ford service!

I put an extension on the vent..... about 1". Guess what - it still seeps. Looking at the Nota4re transcooler or the MR2Race vent. Sonmething to do in the winter :biggrin
