There comes a time when you really just need to give up on the old POS cars. You spend more time fixing them, then driving them.

ditch the ****box fox... and get an SN.
yea his rite.... if your going to work on it constantly its not worth it... to much of a headache... half the fun is driving it.... SN tend to be in better shape than foxes... so it would be a better way to go...

SN tend to be newer....that would explain the likelyness of being in better shape. Now if they only looked as good as a Fox...[8D]

yup. make sure you memorize/measure exactly how much clearance there is at the back of the clutch, and reinstall with that same clearance.
