I have the daunting job of clearing out my interior and cutting my tunnel open to repair the clutch tube. Does anyone have tips on doing this job? Do the fuel lines need to be taken out? Humm.......maybe I should if they're still plastic.
I appreciate all your wisdom as I'm trying to gain some on my own. Thanks!! Steve |

I need to thank Dr. Evil. I was searching for solutions on this site and went with the conduit repair. I could not find exactly what I thought would work best, but I ended up using a C type conduit clamp. It has one bolt hole in the top which was easy to put in. I then braced the tube into place and secured it with JB Weld. I tried to put rubber on the back side which might enable it to be removed. There was to much flex, so I put a small patch of JB Weld at the bottom. It is solid now. I would have to disagree with thought that the best was to repair is to weld to the wall. The tube is held in place at the front with a spot welded strap. If I was doing it again I would use the same bracket I would try and figure a way to hindge the bottom or tougue end which would allow it to be bolted at the bottom and then fold up the top end and fasten with a bolt. Sorry the picture is upside down. You can see the original strap in the back and the repair is in front of picture. The repair is about 1 inch from front of shifter opening. |
