Clutch Replacement from Hell
Clutch Replacement from Hell
Well the clutch was going on my 93 Max, so I drove it up to Muskegon to use my uncle's air tools to repair it. Well I get it up there, every thing is going good, got the disc off and there was nothin left to it, previous owner must have rode it really bad. Took a break and went to autozone for the new clutch and heres where it gets bad,
My uncle's dog ran away, and I went to get it back for him. It attacked me and I ended up with 6 puncture wounds, and cant use my hand for 2-3 weeks, not to mention all these fun shots and pills. And to make matters worse, im 16, and my parents wouldn't authorize the hospital to treat me, because "insurance doesnt cover it' (now I know how much they love me) So I had to wait 4 hours until my aunt who happens to be a nurse got home to treat it, and by this time it was swollen pretty bad.
Well then my uncle who is a domestic mechanic, decided he would try to finish it up. So he puts it all back together, and theres something left over... The Release Bearing!!!!
So finally I call up a cousin on the other side of the family and he fixes it correctly. And to top off a bad week, My liscense plate either fell off or was stolen of my car on the way back to Kalamazoo.
So lesson learned..... Don't work on cars out of town, and don't try to catch dogs, even if your family says "Don't worry he wouldn't hurt a fly"
Well I guess it turned out ok, because out of all the bad, I did get a new clutch + labor for $230, and I got to see Journey!
