I was sort of looking forward to being single on VD, I mean not the single part, but I do rage against this stupid made-up holiday every year. Facebook says I'm single so perhaps people will just think I'm bitter. Stupid holiday.
I don't think I need a clutch. I do think I need coffee. For clutches, there are some symptoms and tests:
drive around 25 in 3rd gear (depends on ratio) and barely rest foot on clutch, see if your engine reves
Shift horribly and see if the tach shows you popping out of (revs) and into (dropping)gear
pull the clutch plate (yeah I'm not doing this so we'll stop right here)
and my favorite - does your gas mileage drop. I'm still getting 33-36 mpg, so whether I imagine I smell something brake-fluid like when I drive (guess I should scan the engine) or not, the clutch must be fully engaged because otherwise I'd have poor mileage due to the poor link from engine to transmission
clutches are harder to use when they're dead, mine feels the same and is easy to use
a dying clutch doesn't engage until it's almost all the way up, mine is about half way give or take some
I don't have all that much of a story about coffee, but I have a coffee date for later. NEED coffee.
I'm kind of boring today.
This is my tonight - Evil Cat at psychotronic. Anyone else wanna go?
