Becky, are you coming by way of the stampede?
And am I correct that the stampede is set to arrive mid-day thursday? I PM'd Carolina Boy to find out where we are going to meet up with the stampede in Va. but haven't heard back from him.

Just got registered for Carlisle! At a close hotel, spending time with my Dad, & hoping he has to drive my car home while I drive my other car home

Funny story, well not really. I just the other day realized it would be possible for me to make it to the event. I had it all figured out when I was given bad news.... You see I graduate High School in may ( I bought my pinto as my first car when I was 16) and everyone has a graduation party right. Well mine just so happens to be scheduled on June 4 and its the only date/wekkend that works for my whole family. I was extremely dissapointed to say the least...

Good afternoon all,
I got ahold of Carlisle Events the first part of the week and they faxed me a list of who has signed up,we have 19 cars signed up under the Pcca banner. With one signed up with the Pinto Stampede. We're not far out from the gathering so we need you to sign up asap! Where they spot us on the show field will depend on how many cars we register! See you all soon, and I will keep you posted

Well, unless a miracle happens in the next couple months, you'll probably have to count me out.

I did some more fiddling with the clutch cable on Ruby, but it looks like the damage is done. She won't shift into any gear but Reverse. I'm guessing the throw-out bearing is shot.

I've saved a tad over $600 so far for this adventure, thinking I would add (hopefully) $1,000 when I get my tax refund.

If I get Ruby's transmission issues fixed (by a competent person other than myself) I can count on all the money I have saved being gone, and I won't be able to go. If I don't get her fixed, then I can't participate in the Stampede, which is what fired me up to go to Carlisle. I really wanted to meet the folks who couldn't make it out here for the California meets, but I'm not feeling zipping across the country for a mere couple days, then zipping back here. This was to be the first real vacation I've had since 1990. Keep your fingers crossed, but don't hold your breath that I can make it.

71pintoracer · « **Reply #79 on:** January 29, 2011, 07:16:04 PM »

That doesn't make sense Becky, reverse is not syncronized so it should be grinding going in if the clutch is not dis-engaging. Shame that you can't find someone who does work on the side (like me) that won't charge an arm&leg. I mean dang, talk about a gravy job! I can drop a Pinto trans in 45 mins, no sweat! Maybe one of the techs at the Ford dealer you mentioned?

blupinto · « **Reply #80 on:** January 29, 2011, 07:58:22 PM »

Jimmy, it DOES grind when going into reverse... then stalls if I'm not accelerating. As for shifting into the other gears, it's like shifting the stick against a brick wall. I'm asking around right now, looking for decent prices. The car will have to be towed wherever it goes, though.

Too bad I'm not in Virginia.

Or missouri clutchs are easy!

71pintoracer · « **Reply #82 on:** January 30, 2011, 06:12:30 AM »

Becky, I remember reading that your clutch pedal wasn't going all the wat up to the stop. All of that unused movement is to be considered freeplay. Loosen the rear adjustment nut all the way and pull the cable forward so that the T/O bearing is just touching the pressure plate. You can even take the rubber boot loose and look up in there and look at it. Now keep forward tension on the cable and tighten the forward nut until it just touches the bell, then tighten the rear nut with a wrench. That should give you enough free play, you don't need much. A little down at the trans will fell like more at the pedal.
Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, I know you have been adjusting on the cable, just making sure you have all of the free play out. If all is good there, sounds like the pressure plate is going bad.
If you want to tow it to Va. I will fix it for you free of charge! I think I even have a 1600 clutch assy somewhere that I will give you. We can crank up the tunes, eat pizza and drink beer, throw a clutch in the Pinto and then go for a cruise! What a way to spend an afternoon!!

:fastcar:

blupinto · « **Reply #83 on:** January 30, 2011, 11:31:35 AM »

I'd be all for that... if I could afford the tow fees! lol

I am seriously hoping that I can succesfully bring home this wagon this saturday. Providing all goes well and car runs as good as they say, I will do my best to going! I have always wanted to go there anyways. Now I WILL have a excuse to!

blupinto · « **Reply #85 on:** February 02, 2011, 09:07:09 PM »

Well... that mirascle happened!!! I think I'm going!!!
