Since when do you need a clutch pedal, Kane? Are you committing sacrilege?

[Kane k]

Yes looking for clutch pedal does'nt hide what im doing very well. Just had enough, of the grinding, the crunching, not bing able to shift. Spent thousands chasing it, had enough.
Putting a 915 in. But will be keeping all Sporto stuff, in case i ever want to go back.
One day I hope to get back on a run. Thats my hope anyway.

How did you get on with the main seal that kept failing about a year ago? Is the grinding and crunching part of that problem?

[Kane k]

Basically the system has a big oil leak somewhere. It went up on the hoist, and the oil leak was very hard to find. But i think that main seal is holding at the moment. But its only a matter of time till it goes again. Going on the past.
Im suffering many problems, the gearbox is very noisy, grinds and crunches. The car never seems to have full power, seems to surge through the torque converter. Been told that the K Jetronic on the 3 litre, doesn't produce enough vacuum To run the system.
It comes down to where you want to spend your money. On a full sporto rebuild, or go down a 915 path. Now if i was a concourse queen it would be a sporto rebuild, but im far from oringinal, and im not worried about resale prices as this car will never be sold, not in it to make money, i want to drive, and im not getting much of that done at the moment.

Lots to take in over lunch.....

Did you see Mitchell's post's about his 3L? Same issues, I think. He ended up buying an auxiliary battery powered vacuum pump. (About $150)

Did anyone test your vacuum level? It should be better than 15-25mmHg.

The grinding may also be worn shift bushes.

Pity I wasn't closer......you could just pop over.

[Kane k]

Yeah I am aware of the battery powered pump, and no I didnt test the vacuum levels.
Basically the system is just really old, It needs a complete rebuild, and gearbox pull down.
At this point and time its easier to do the conversion.
At some point in my life i will do a engine and gearbox rebuild and make the car original.
