clutch?
continued from my other post. My clutch is quite touchy.. when in gear, if you lay your foot on the pedal, it starts to engage. it's got about 50k miles on this clutch...should it be a definite replace..or adjustment?

If it slips when you barely touch it, it's shot & needs to be replaced.
I replaced the factory clutch on my 87 2.9 due to a leaking slave at 180K, so i'm surprised that you only got 50K out of this one.

yeah.. 50k on one that replaced the original at 106. I can't complain.. the guy rebuilt the engine and replaced the heads and clutch for 800$ . this is the worst problem i've had so far... knock on wood

But whatever he used for a replacement clutch, i would'nt use it again.
Do you tow with your B-2?
When I did the clutch on my 87 I got the replacement clutch kit from Napa. So far it's been good for 65K miles.
When I replaced it I switched it to Dot-5 brake fluid.
If I had remembered to do that sooner, i probably would'nt have had that leaky slave cylinder at 180K.
Oh well live & learn.
