Default clutch issues

Yesterday my clutch decides to start to slip, GREAT!

today i limp to auto zone, collect all my parts i need and hobble over to my buddys garage. Turns out the torpedo heater is dead, WONDERFUL!

Start to rip into tranny, so real issues untill i pop open the inspection cover, i start to find bits of everything a mouse uses to bud homes.....

Stop opening the bleeder and just pump the s**t out of it.

And I thought I was the only one this happened to! In mine, the grass they drug in wound into a rope, and jammed the pressure plate from squeezing the disc.

If you don't cover the 2 holes on the upper back side of the clutch housing, they may get in again!

I used window screen and glued it over the holes with silicone rubber. imp
