What I've done over the past couple of days.

Changed spark plugs and found oil on the plugs. I guess i have to do a valve cover gasket change in the near future.


This weekend I thought I would replace my clutch.

Good thing I didn't put it off any longer. Yikes.

This was supposed to be my new clutch.

Funny thing is that the mounting holes didn't line up.

So I started to second guess the parts I ordered online.

Nope. Part number matches up with my year and trim of car.

I check out the transmission and discover the previous owner swapped in an 1989 tranny (my car is a 1990 model). The give away was the number of grooves on the input shaft. There is no way to tell what transmission i had from the outside until i opened her up. Now I'm off to pick up a clutch locally for an arm and a leg.

If cats always land on their feet, and toast always lands butter side down, what would happen if you strapped burnt toast to the back of a cat and dropped it?
