Bear with me - first time replacing a clutch and pressure plate on the 41 (actually on any car, for that matter). When fully disengaged, I can turn the u-joint by hand in any gear, but the PP and friction disc are definitely in contact and there is a slight drag. When I slowly lift the pedal...

From factory -- were they raw, black, or maybe black with plain metal covers (the look I'm partial to)? Surely this has been discussed but can't turn up any info.

What is the deal here? No tool in the box will budge these rear motor/trans mount cups -- it's like they're welded or otherwise fused to the bracket. Are they? I've already half destroyed one. Next step would be air chisel.

New springs today! Are these things supposed to rotate in the eye so that the spring steel is the wearing surface? I can press them in there but they won't be rotating. I would have to slightly ream out the eye.

Here's a disturbing discovery. The fuel gauge was acting up and I traced it to an 83-ohm leak to ground somewhere in the sender wire. That seemed odd since the car has 100% new wiring harnesses. Adding to the oddity was the fact that turning on the headlights changed the gauge reading. I...

Dumb question. The rubber bumpers on the clutch and brake rods -- aren't the rods supposed to move through them? In other words shouldn't they be affixed to the firewall somehow? Or do they move in and out with the rods (that's what mine do, seems odd).
