    Throw out bearing noise

    I am getting a noise when I am engaging the clutch. I have taken a video and you'll see its when the throwout bearing is first coming in contact with the PP fingers.

    Cooling system help needed

    After 8 long years, I finally have my grandfather's coupe back on the road.
