hey all

I took pics of whats going on with my clutch.

Got under it today and found that i do not have a clutch fork seal. I conveniently drove through a massive puddle in a rainstorm a while ago, and ever since then my clutch has been groaning and not engaging/disengaging smoothly.









The first two are clutched out. The second two are clutched in. The clutch was replaced with a king cobra 5 years / 40k miles ago. Havent adjusted it because it has been just fine. It was only a week ago after driving through the puddle that it has started to act up.

Whats the diagnosis?

TIA

Cable looks pretty rusty....clutch spring may be the same.

You might want to lube the cable a bit...and maybe have the pressure plate check out.

Boot is still available from ford E6ZZ-7513-A $49.98
