Default Snap, Crackle, Pop from my tail.

I'd also use two bottles of posi additive AND synthetic gear lube like Moroso's Climbing Gear Lube (much better against heat).

Obviously Van Steel has way more experience at this than I, but I am here for the education and learning experience.

If the clutch pack was worn out, wouldn't it be slipping, and not make any noise at all?

Put in about a pound of sawdust then sell the car to someone out of state.
