Had a very nice gentleman called Sahd contact me regarding a few small issues to his St185, the main one being the lack of drive to his car. He explained that you can have the car in gear and clutch completely out of the car and rev and there is no movement. Also with the car running and clutch out you can go through all of the gears without issue. We came to the conclusion is sounds like a very extreme case of clutch failure. So the car arrived being toed to my workshop for the work to carry out. While carrying out this job we found a few other issues so sahd has asked me to rectify at the same time so clutch change has turned into more of a partial restoration of the engine.
This is what we found.
Because it was decided to drop the engine to fix all these problems the wiring loom from the ecu was disconnected, While doing this we found evidence of additional passengers it shouldn't have an someones attempt to fix a leaking heater matrix. Paper under the carpet dated 2000 :dunno:
Then back to the engine
And then the clutch. At first my college John had thought some of the past inhabitants of the interior had made there way into the bell housing lol
And Unfortunately the scored flywheel
