Bob  Hall, a local expert--Nope, I just work on them.:)


I should note that John has already checked the clutch linkage from the  
pedal shaft bushings, the clutch cable ball, cable pulleys, the pan, the 
rubber  accordion seal on the clutch cable where it comes out of the tunnel, the 
clutch  cross shaft, and the rod.  Outside of some wear on the swivel 
everything  was tight worked smoothly while I was at John's.  The pressure plate 
was  smooth each time I pushed the pedal and I didn't feel anything that  
would indicate that the clutch fork or ball was badly worn.  I might adjust  
the clutch for a little higher pedal, but I didn't notice anything that would  
cause the pedal to stick in a down (toward the floor) direction.   John has 
a very nice, clean, well maintained convertible.  I recommended  that he 
remove temporarily the cover and nylon washer on the bell housing to see  if 
that made a difference, but he had already tried that--And I didn't notice or 
 feel any binding there when I was under the car.
 
Any other ideas Corvair people?
