I replaced clutch in this beast 2 years ago. Disc had disintegrated. After replacement it seemed to grind the gears a bit as if the pilot bushing was seizing. Found some bronze dust around the inspection cover. I did spray aero-kroil up into the splined shaft and it seemed to help at first, then got progressively worse. Rarely could get it in gear..rather, had to put in gear, then start the engine and then release the pedal.
Now clutch chatters like mad and the left brake side is really grabby and noisy. I have the replacement clutch parts to install again, but wonder if I should pull the left brake apart first to see if most of the issue is really in the brake...
I'm guessing the pilot bushing has gone to hell and the transmission shaft is no longer running true. And the brake is wonky too.
First steps? Client has given me this project for the Winter. I can't remember all the diagnostic ideas I've had in the past, so starting from scratch would be a good idea.
