[quote="mpgFanaticThe torque shaft arm ripped off the tube; I created a reinforcing strap and had my local muffler shop weld it on. I'm guessing that the failure is just a factor of metal fatigue after 40 years of use. Even with a wimpy clutch spring, that's still an awful lot of stress on those welds on the tube.- Erik[/quote] Yep, that's exactly what used to happen to mine and the car was at most 7 or 8 years old at the time. The first couple of times that it happened I just went to the dealer and bought a new one. The last time I found some large steel washers and ground out the centers so that they would fit over the tube then I pushed everything into position and welded the washers to the tube and arms. Problem solved, it never broke again. |
