    Hi all

    Have been losing power in the top of 3rd, and 4/5th gear. Adjusted linkage to add 1/2 inch of play to the pedal but the problem persists.

    Not sure what else to do other than get in and inspect/replace the clutch. Have seen a few options re kits and am unsure which would be best. If anyone has any experience w this, would be most appreciated! As for process, will be following Birdman’s guide here:

    Losing power means what? You step on the gas and the engine RPM goes up but car does not go faster?

    Yes exactly. The tach jumps from 3 to 4.5k but car doesn’t respond at all.

    Pilot bearing, rear main seal, throw out bearing, clutch disk and pressure plate. Inspection of the flywheel because you had slipping.

    Unless you have a leak at the RMS, leave it alone. Do replace the three O rings at the bell housing. Inspect the flywheel but new ones are hard to come by, or used ones.
