Well, guess my uly didn't want to go home quite yet. Im about 140 miles from home, bethany Missouri. 160 miles ago my clutch decided to lock up tighter than a Chinese finger trap after getting gas, its like when the clutch cable breaks but it didn't. I took it all apart in the parking lot, saw no missing metal and adjusted everything, it looks like it is working right, but it's not. I just put a new clutch in 5k miles ago, i probably screwed something up, but damn i would expect it to rear its head earlier than this. It just so happened to be downhill out of the gas station parking lot so i was able to get going without using the clutch. This gas stop though, i didn't have as much luck, this station pointed uphill...i pulled a big wheelie but it still died and a bad electrical and mechanical noise was made, hope i didn't just eat a basket or pinion gear. Called roadside and they will tow me all the way home, gratis; thanks progressive. Just waiting on the truck, counting the teeth of the meth heads roaming around. The last week on the road was fun, can't imagine a better way to end it. | ||

Did you get stuck in the interstate 55 stop and go traffic? I did for almost an hour. Finally made it to an exit and took back roads! Old Rt. 66 actually! Sorry to hear about the clutch crashing but at least your much closer to home. | ||

No, i actually did pretty well, took some backroads and such, didn't really hit traffic or construction. Just got an update via text from progressive, "your provider will arrive within 300 minutes" WTF? Guess I'm sitting on the curb watching Netflix til 4am | ||

Are you home yet. Update when you know the cause of your clutch woes. Nice to see you both yesterday. | ||

sounds like the dreaded broken lips on the primary cover thing. I had that too. There are a few threads on how to fix it "properly" | ||

Still here, they keep pushing back the ETA of my tow truck and no rental truck place within 50 miles has an available truck. FML | ||

Nate: Just talked with Zack4mac. He thinks you are correct in your Cupcake_Mike woes. | ||

Finally headed south, hopefully at the house in an hour or so Don't know if I'll start tearing into it today, but should be an experience |
