Dear List Gurus,

In a Classic Bonehead Maneuver, I have taken of the box that shields and
guides the clutch pedal linkage under the driver's seat, cleaned out all
the road grime, applied a few dollops of grease and .... can't figure out

how to put the thing back together. It looks as though one of the nylon
pads on the linkage is supposed to slide on the crescent shaped aluminum
piece attached to the inside of the box, but does it go on the top or the

bottom of the track and what is the other one meant to slide on? That
crimped sheet metal piece somehow, I guess. And why does the fork with the
two nylon pads seem narrower than the space between the two tracks inside

the box? Obviously it is the right size, because only minutes ago it was
all assembled neatly, but ....  Any help you can offer would be most
appreciated.

Also, this morning, before my dumb disassembly, it did not want to go into
gear at all. I haven't had a chance to check the slave cylinder. When I get
the box put back together I'll face the more serious problem. Maybe this is
a good day to try Coby's famous adjustment.
