Shifter fell off.

Ok, I've done this with brakes before, looks like the same deal with the clutch as per the very helpful shop manual. Should be fun.

I would think with that hillbilly clutch linkage setup that most of your problem lies there.

I had thought that as well, however, the problem with it lurching forward when I put it in gear is new, and indicates clutch issues.

I hate to sound like an *****, but is there a video on bleeding the clutch? I will look now too.

Reverse-bleed it, search the forum. Here are two:

I have a mityvac and a syringe if you don't. I'll be home all day. Also a MIG welder if the mount needs to be re-welded.

That's an awesome offer! I just ordered the mightyvac, but I might look to get your help with the rebuild of the slave at some point in the future. I am going to order the parts, and keep an eye on the shifting, if I'm still noticing issues I think the long term fix will be a stock shift lever and a rebuild of that slave cyl.

OK, I'm right down 441, about 15 miles from the 7/11 in Middletown. Good luck!! By the way, Harbor freight sells the mightyvac too. They are on Eisenhower blvd right by where 441 ends at 283 North.

Awesome! I have a bunch of beer taps, you will have to help me bleed those lines sometime too. Haha.

And I LOVE Harbor Freight, I've spent a Lot time in there. They have SO much stuff that I need, at prices that I actually am OK with paying. A rare find.
