Lost my clutch on my way home tonight, 80kms of secondary road from the turn off to home. heading toward the first hill and the clutch was slipping in 5th, then slipping in 4th. I could see some headlights way back so I'm trying hard to stay in front of them in case we lose all drive. Heading up the last hill and 3rds gone totally and she's slipping in 2nd when a mate's wife calls me on the radio to ask if its me up in front, man I was feeling grateful. my mates the local mechanic and he's laughing at me. Coast down the last hill and he's happy to follow me as we cruise in 2nd with lots of slipping the last couple of k's to his workshop. Didn't quite make it up the drive way when we lost 1st but who cares and short tow in to a loaner and I'm off home not to sure who was happier me or daughter number 3.
All going well I'm heading out on Tuesday to learn how to do a clutch

Went for a drive to Grovedale Geelong to pick up a redgum slab.
Having just filled it will now work out my fuel figures, its a 100kph
both ways most via fwy.
I'm curious as to what are you going to do with the slab? i have just finished makin a outdoor table from a 1.3 x 4mtr slab of redgum
Started on replacing the clutch, got the gear box out and the fly wheel sent off for skimming, couier is picking it up in the morning so putting it all back together tomorrow. Also discovered the uni's on the rear drive shaft are toast so stripped them down and ordered 2 new ones should be here in the morning too
