The disc is always on the splines. The disc is supposed to slide easily on the splines. This allows the transmission input shaft to be disengaged from the flywheel when you press the clutch pedal. IF the disc is seized on the splines against the flywheel, it will continually turn the trans...

Turbo chargers, superchargers, and overhead cam-valvetrain especially hold oil. After years of traditional V8, V6, L6, and L4 engine tear downs for repairs and overhaul, I found not that much oil was left after draining the sump and removing the filter.

Show m e the data. I have a friend who at the age of 55 was taking a statin. He had sore joints in the morning so he stopped. Six years later he died of cardiac failure. He could have switched to a different statin. He refused to. Being bull headed cost him his life IMHO. Iwish we could stick to...

3/16 barb fitting with clamps

Except for the extreme cases (morbidly obese) statins will shorten your life quicker than just meeting the medical professionals numbers. I stopped taking them 12 years ago. Still here (obviously) with practically the same numbers. Now that I’ve aged, my numbers are within the guidelines for my...

Doesn’t the BITOG darling Loch Sprint have a recent tutorial out about Supertech being such a wonderful motor oil? Edit: of note, it wasn’t being compared to Pennzoil.

Someone educate me… What makes this a substandard oil filter?

Ok. Let’s use our heads. Take the driveshaft out. Push it out or….most towing companies have a device known as a winch.

I’d bet the disc is seized on the input splines.

You can give all the credit to parts stores sending big Tommy out to change your battery with vice grips and a claw hammer!

At this point, drive it until you see a leak and-or hear noise. Likely won’t be any more expensive for that repair as disassemble now for bearings-(pinion, carrier, & axle) and seals-(pinion and axle).

Try it before disassembly but don’t be surprised if you bend some clutch linkage and-or the fork. I wouldn’t risk damaging that Muncie in an attempt to free up the stuck parts.

Move the shifter to Park because you forgot to?? What’s wrong with that. It worked when it was needed in my opinion.

Pressure plate likely seized on the trans input shaft splines and-or seized in the pilot bushing. Put it in neutral, start the engine and let it heat up. Maybe a few heat cycles could free it up. A blow proof bellhousing typically has to be blueprinted upon installation to ensure proper...

All college loans have a criminal loan shark style interest schedule that even after 10 years the principal is hardly touched. No, the government shouldn’t forgive these loans however there should be some corrective action forced on the lenders to be reasonable. Universities giving away free...
