I think the part I need is the same one that is used for the heater valve cable on the engine, and with the weather we have right now, don't really need a heater

[JPMINITUCSON]

Ah! That's known as the "Trunion" on this side of the pond.
A little part with a big job!

Oh yeah that's the one

I think the one from the heater cable is the same

I went with this filter

PUROLATOR L10241

[Joakwin]

Drove the lhd mini to Yuma and staying the night

Turns out the headlights didn't work because the connectors where it T's off at the front panel
Was bad, ez fix

My turn signals and 4 ways don't work
I know the flasher for the turn signal is bad
And the flasher for the haz isn't hooked up

But the turn signal will be ez to make work

And the idle was at like 1500rpm, lowered it down to
1k

And the car drove nice,
In the mountains the car didn't like it
But never got hot, I did like 80km

And then flat highway rolled at 110km
And if I had to pass the car pulled nice to
135km

It's a Germany spec car, I'm not really sure how fast I was going
But I think 100km is about 60mph

[Joakwin]

Ended up using 12 gallons of gas to drive from San diego to San luis Az to tucson AZ

[JPMINITUCSON]

Great, about 35 mpg.
Do you have twin tanks?

[Joakwin]

Single tank

Gas stop is a nice few min break




Next to my brothers gasser

[Joakwin]

I think the clutch went out on the car, its not wanting to disengage the clutch anymore

well, I guess the good thing was that it didn't brake down on the road
bad part is, I need to buy a clutch kit and take the few hours to swap it out

its a verto clutch and the pedal is going down to the floor and its not leaking oil from the slave or master

looking online
mini mania wants $240 plus shipping
7 ent wants $209 plus shipping
gbcar parts $190 plus shipping
dsn classic, 100GBP and flat rate shipping if it will fit in a USPS flat rate box

[JPMINITUCSON]

If the slave is not moving it is probably the master. Maybe just new seals and a light hone would get you moving.

[Joakwin]

the slave moves about a inch

I adjusted the plunger nuts and now the clutch has travel

the radiator is leaking at the lower cap

[Joakwin]

i started to JB weld the radiator but its pretty bad, the lower cap and the lower outlet, so I ended up ordering an alloy radiator for the car, and I will have it next week sometime

[Joakwin]

Alloy radiator was just dropped off by team ups
2-core radiator

[Joakwin]

Got the radiator installed this afternoon and messed around with the clutch,

Removed the old oil from the clutch master
And put some new stuff in and
Bleed it out to what seemed like a million times
While keeping the level in the master good
And now the clutch pedal feels a ton bit harder to push
And the slave is movng out about a inch to 1.25 inch
And the box is shifting smooth like it should

We'll see if this thing holds pressure for my drive to work tomorrow
