Hi everybody!
The clutch was o.k. – it worked just fine. I took off the pedal to put some color to the underbody. Took the rod that leads to the clutch off too! Found out it was worn down to the half of it´s diameter on the connection. – Fixed that by welding and grinding!
At the rear end of the rod – the clutch-linkage – or whatever this steeltube is called – I realized there´s huge lash – so I took this thing off too.
Tons of really old grease and a piece of rubberhose came out off this tube. The tube is held by steelknobs that look like little puppets. They are worn too!
Now I´m wondering what´s in this steeltube originally??? It must be something that reduces the wear between the two steel parts! What´s that little spring/ clamb for? Can anybody help?
