Get him a puppy. It's almost the same but close enough. They both poop, need to be fed, and washed.

I would love to get my hands on that old carbed 8! I don't know shit about ECU tunes but give me some flat head and philips screwdrivers and a couple of open ended wrenches and I will tune that puppy by ear to the point it will make you squeal.

How do you actually blow a throwout bearing? I have known cars with over 100 thousand miles on the original throwout bearing.
Must be dodgy American engineering.

The same way you break any bearings - slamming the rollers into races very hard repeatedly while the races are moving at two hugely different speeds. Dumping the clutch puts a huge strain on it. You are basically slamming the races against the rollers as hard as you possibly can and accelerating them from 0-7000rpm instantaneously. Do that over and over and they are bound to break.

And you are so correct it hurts! This is exactly why mine exploded lol. We sidestepped that clutch so many times I lost count.. The funniest part is that we had no clue that there was an issue. A few summers ago we decided to pull the crappy engine and put in a better running 350 and when we pulled the motor, what was left of the throwout bearing literally fell off the shaft and the fork. It had broken almost in half! Inside the bell housing and all over the clutch plate you could see deep gouges where the piece bounced around in the bell housing for awhile.. lol Needless to say we went a bought an american made OE part to replace it and so far it has been holding up well. I think we'll blow up a gear in the 4speed before that bearing goes out |
