Well... went home and tested out the new 'bird. It has a manual choke... not sure yet why... but I need to use it to start the car... anyway.. the first mile or 2 is REALLY rough... doesn't want to move barely at all.. balking up a storm! But then it warms up and it really purrs... anyway.. I haven't taken the time to check the engine numbers yet... might have to wait for Christmas for that... but anyway... Drove it up to Sturgeon Bay (About 25 miles north of my parent's home) and was driving it back. Stopped at a stop sign and I heard a loud clunk and it died. I just though I snubbed and and proceded to try to restart it. The clutch pedal had NO resistance... went right to the floor.. and it wouldn't start... had to have it towed.. forced it out of 1st and jumped it.. and it fired right up.. but still no resistance on clutch. I am assuming like the linkage from the pedal broke or disconnected or something. WOuldn't let me get it back into gear. Had to push it up the driveway. Any thoughts as to what it is, what to look for, how to fix, etc? This whole manual transmission thing is fairly new to me.. I mean I have driven a few before and know how to drive them, just dont' know the mechanics involved. Thanks.
