Yesterday fuckin' sucked so bad.........First I started my new job that I ended up quiting about an hour and a half after I got there........Then I'm on my way home.......and my clutch decided to take a shit on me..........I knew it wasn't good for the car BUT I really needed to make it home..........So I'm going down the interstate and my rpm's started getting higher and higher then the next thing I know... I'm in 5th gear........5000rpms doing 20mph and slowing down........I completely fried that clutch......So I pull over and get my phone out of my pocket to call someone....only to find out that my phone was disconnected.........:mad:.........So I take off walking........and walking and walking.....................11 miles back to base......I had no way off getting ahold of anyone.........the buses don't run by base anymore and I had no cab money..........


But 89Ninja and I are going to change the clutch today..........So hopefully I'll be on the road again tonite.............

its gonna take more than a few ours.. unless you have a garage... it took me 8 hours straight... once you think you got all the bolts out, you find a few more, then a few more.. its a real SOB... but i hope you wont have that much bad luck again

Man I almost joined the Marines b/c I was going to be a tank mechanic and I could work on my 3G with the auto hobby garages. Costs like $2 to use all day if I remember right.

We've (Ninja and I ) been working on it since saturday afternoon......They close at 4 on the weekends........730 on the weekdays.......Does anyone happen to have a diagram of all the tranny bolts.........we cannot get it to drop.......We're missin' like 1 or 2 bolts i think.........(but the tranny always drops when you don't want it too).......

The garage is $1 an hour.....$2 intial charge.....$1 over night.........they have everything ATI has..........it's great plus they have people there who are really good with cars.
