Change Your Oil

Stretch · 08-27-2007, 07:24 PM

From your description, I believe that my clutch is adjusted properly. I can pull it in and the friction zone is between a third and two-thirds of the way to the grip. Everything was working fine (even with the slight bit of MMO I added in) until I put in the synthetic oil.

I am hoping the oil change will help.

I do have the manual, I printed it from here (luckily, it seems to be for a 1999 - my year!). I try to ask those that have done it first before hitting the book because the experienced folks normally know to add those little things (like hold onto the cover because it is spring-loaded) that are somehow forgotten by the service manual writer (or assumed to be common knowledge to the experienced mechanic reader, to be kind to manual writers).

Thanks again!
