    1st gear shudder and synchro

    Well new clutch and flywheel and shifts like a charm now. They said clutch looked ok but fly wheel was questionable. Had them replace both while it was apart and a fluid change. Clutch feels smooth and shifts like butter.

    1st gear shudder and synchro

    Screws that hold 3rd rear brake light

    Hello. My third rear brake light came off. Have no clue what happened to it but it's gone. I ordered a replacement but not sure what size screws it took to attach the new one. Probably a hex screw? I don't think the replacement comes with the screws,but maybe it does. If anyone knows the length...

    Is that a knife in your pocket?

    I have over 40 some victorinox and Wenger knives, 10 buck folding hunters, most of them vintage but new stock as well. Gerbers, kershaws, camillus etc. Sadly I usually never have one on me. I have a knife and flashlight obsession lol. Watches too!
