So I dropped by @
ultramoroons place today, he generously offered to help me install my new clutch.
As we were assessing the car, he brilliantly informed me that the TOB was not the issue. The cold start squeak seemed to be coming from the drive belt. Although it is brand new and sold as a direct fit, apparently it is too long and a bit to soft.
The squeak was easily identified with his help since it only happens when using the throttle.
He schooled me on how to identify this and also fixed my squeaky clutch fork. This man is a great teacher and a good friend. I appreciate the help. A lunch on me is not enough payment but hopefully is a good start ��
I had hoped it wasn’t the clutch even though I was excited to get my new one in. But since it doesn’t seem to have any sign of issues after a “professional” took a look, it can sit in my garage a bit longer.
