Well I thought it might be an idea to tell us about any special tricks you have for fixing something on a car.
This idea came about because I went with my brother to pick up a Mustang he just imported. It's the same as the Bullit Mustang, 390 fast back, but it had an after market 5 speed. Anyway, the damned cluth had seized up, tried rocking it in gear to free it, no go. Put it in 1st gear and turned over the motor getting it to jump forward, then the same in reverse again trying to get the seized clutch to break free, still no go. So he got onto a tow truck driver he knew he picked it up and brought it home. The towy guy then shoved the garden hose into a small hole in the clutch housing with the engine running and filled it with water, let it drain off and repeated a couple of more times and hey presto, job done and drives like a charm, whale oil beef hooked.
