fuckall
so i killed her again.
i think the problem is either my throwout bearing ate itself or it ate my pressure plate diaphragm spring....meaning i can't get my clutch to release and, therefore, can't get 'er in gear.
for the past two weeks i've had to adjust my fork rod (lengthen) every 3-4 days. shifting was getting hard because i'd have to push the pedal INTO the floor to get it to shift...and after lengthening the rod it worked beautifully...but kept going back. i never got a chance to mark/measure the fork rod to see if the vibration was just turning it somehow...but doubt that it could happen that fast anyway because TODAY, same thing, adjusted it in the afternoon...drove around and got home...started the car about 2 hours later to drive her into the garage and the clutch wouldn't disengage at ALL (jammed it into gear and still rolled with clutch all the way in).
lengthened fork rod again (looked like it was just getting longer and longer), started the car (in neutral), and heard a mettallic *chink* the moment i pushed the clutch in. now it won't go into any gear except reverse with HORRIBLE grinding.
jiggling the fork...it seems to move all over the place and i can feel it hitting something and clicking before it puts the throwout bearing on the pressure plate (or at least that's what it feels like).
my guess is either my throwout bearing ate itself or my pressure plate spring fingers are messed up....or maybe the throwout bearing was already bad or something and my adjustments pushed the mangled mess too far into my spring fingers or something.
posted my questions on nastyz28.com...a site with a messageboard that's helped me numerous times before. *sigh* in the meantime, i think i have to bus it to kaimuki.
yay.
