Title: Guess the u-joint was bad
Post by: bhazard on August 06, 2007, 11:49:08 PM
I started getting the shudder and clunking after a clutch dump a couple weeks ago. Trying to teach my gf stick prolly didnt help much either.

Had a little helper come along. Tonight was so humid that the camera lense fogged up immediately after bringing it outside.

Gonna have the shaft balanced and whatnot cause I didnt mark at all how I took it out, and I didnt either last time I had it off.
