need new clutch
After 6 weeks of working on the Dart with way too many distractions I have it back on the road again. I picked a Mcleod Street Pro diaphragm unit from Summit. I have been driving it for 2 weeks now and I must say it is a pleasure to have a well operating clutch in my car. The Street Pro has plenty of hook up power and is smooth as silk even going in to reverse. The biggest pain in the whole process was getting the over center spring out. It turned out that the old clutch was not the main problem but the clutch fork pivot was broken nearly in two.
I guess Bubba didn't know when you try to weld a case hardened part it will sooner or later break next to the weld every time. I sure am glad I found this break before it failed out on the road 50 miles from home. Thanks to everyone for their help and opinions.
