Uh oh, smoked the clutch
My wife has 145K miles on her 90 six speed. It does not look a click over 60k miles from 5 feet away.
I talked her into letting me co-drive it last weekend for a Solo II event. My first time. What a blast. The good news is I took first place my very first time out. The bad new is, she told me that the clutch is slipping in 2nd and 3rd around town (this is her daily driver).
Anybody here have a suggesting of the best brand for the least amount of money? I will be doing the work myself. I replaced the clutch in her 89 with a "Brute Force" brand from Pep Boys. It seemed to work fine. That was about four years ago on the 89.
I also killed the back tires. At least the BFG tires are not too expensive to replace.
Can't wait to do it again.
