HELP WITH CLUTCH 4 $$

[Isaac Marquez]

Here's the deal. I got into sho's a while back, but quickly learned they're expensive and time consuming to fix. Anyways, it's just been sitting in my shop for ever now, waiting patiently for a clutch. I've had no money, but things are changing, sorta. I'm looking for someone near Modesto CA, which is near Sacramento, who could help me fix and replace this clutch. We did it ourselves to my friends sho, but that was with the help of this one guy who just moved out to San Jose or something like that. I know it's a hard job, but I really need my sho up and running. This is my proposed plan. I plan to order the new clutch, get some reinforced motor mounts, and the brake upgrade for my 91 SHO. I could do more, but figuring in the cost of getting all this, plus what I'm going to pay, it gets pricey. I'd really like to offer this job...or pain...to a SHO enthusiast who knows his/her stuff rather than to a shop nearby. Or if anyone has any recommendations to where I should take my SHO nearby, please let me know. My number is 209 614-2322. I'm willing to pay someone to help me out with this job, but I don't have much. I also have the video from that one dude at sho-nut performance i think it is. You know, the one who says..."and now you take ouuuhht the nut"...you know if you'ved watched the video. Any feedback on this would be much appreciated as I really miss my sho and want it up and running asap. Thanks a lot everyone

I'd love to help out!

You'd have to pay for a plane ticket or two though.. I wasn't planning on being in the States again until spring.

Seriously, good luck with your work. Really if you have the time and can get some tools together you could do it yourself. I just learned to change the oil on a car last summer and last month did my clutch.

Happy SHOing!

heh, i can change the oil myself. Just the clutch job is such a pain! I'm just so not mechanically inclined, and I'm too much of a perfectionist that I'd hang up on every little detail that it would probably take a month to finish. I am going to start, and have taken some stuff apart already...hopefully I haven't misplaced anything doh . Hopefully someone else can step up to the plate and help me out

Keep all the nuts and bolts straight. Mine only took a few days and I still would have wondered what went where, except I put them all in ziplock baggies and wrote on each bag what it went to and where...

Good luck.

digital camera's work wonders thumb

 

[Isaac Marquez]

Hrm...a digital camera. I hadn't thought about that. Well, just swapped my basket weaves for some slicers my friend had. I'll have to ask my girlfriend for her digital camera and get started on it. It's already taken apart some, and I got the video there to help me along. One more thing... if anyone has like a brake upgrade kit they want to sell, a good clutch, some reinforced motor mounts, or a good condition flywheel, i'm looking to buy, as that's all the parts i'm looking to replace. Mine is a 90 sho btw... so let me know, my number's on the first message if you have any spare parts you wanna sell. If I have any spare money, I'm looking to put in the rod shifter also...thanks
