Well folks, the shudder problem that I had when I went into reverse with any load apparently has been solved. Seems that when I replaced the SAE bottom stud from the engine to the clutch housing with the proper metric stud, I was able to tighten things up properly. That has solved the shudder problem. Doesn't mean that I don't have another clutch problem but I can only solve one thing at a time. Shifting is still the same as it was before, hard to get into first unless I really pull the shift lever over. Have to work on that yet. William |
