toasted clutch....

well, after some tranny related works I used to drive for a week and my friend called me that he found my tranny oil filling plug in the pit. He said, you have no oil in tranny... He put a filling hose in to add 2 quart. How much oil was in tranny and how much was spilled nobody knows now.

Well, a3 ore 4 days later I feeled that engine revs, but no acceleration. It is not good - I realised..... My clutch is really old, and I wanted to change it so I got new clutch kit and put it in van and kept driving. But it is not all, I got blue smoke from under van and smell of burning oil.....

Ouh!!!! It is really clutch day!

I pulled out DS and got a shower of oil from tranny!






Tranny was overfilled........ Oil leaked everywhere, from vent hole to clutch......











Well, I had to drain oil and refill tranny.

My friend helped me to change clutch and install tranny.

This plant is in Chelabinsk, Ural.

They make parts for domestic market only.

Pressure plate is new too. Made in Tomsk, Syberia....

Seems to me my pressure plate was good, but I changed it too and I have an Idea to sell it as used part.....

good idea pablo. just soak the old new one in acetone or MEK overnight 2 times. use fresh solution each time. good as new as long as the face is not burned or glazed from slipping. if glazed, just resurface on lathe

your Aero looks like it went thru the sheep farmers sheep dip bath.
nothing stinks more than burning 75w90 with the sulfur anti wear in it.
you could drive on the salt lake beds now with no rust ever.

knew an old commercial fisherman years ago that coated the bottom of his Suburbans and trucks with fish oil. could smell his rigs coming before you saw them

that new tooth gear you made for the flywheel looks great, doing the job.

ouh yeah, I never had rust related problems, becouse I had leaking auto tranny, PS pump, R'n'P, Engine, and now tranny.... bottom is always coated with oil, atf and now manual tranny oil.

I looked at bottom of my aero and I see, really no rust.....

fortunatly no fish oil... I hate fish oil smell, really hate...
