Getting tougher to put it gear. When it is in gear and the clutch peddle is down to the floor and I take my foot off the brake the car will roll. Don't see it lasting much longer. I guess with a 162, 000 miles I can't complain.

Nope, sounds like you have reached the end of the service life on that clutch. Hopefully it will not be too expensive to fix. Maybe Nipper's guy can do it?

We are still on the original clutch at 70+K. Amazing you got all those miles on it, especially with the kind of driving you do, lots of stop and go in your area.

How did you make out with the clutch Gary? Did you get it replaced yet?

Didn't need a new clutch after all. Clutch linkage and bushings shot. Guy said clutch still has life in it maybe next year. $164.... not to bad

Glad it turned out to be not so big a deal!
