Welcome Birddog. I'm doing my part to have a great 2016 Willys year. It hasn't snowed since last night and it was only an inch. Spring is in the air!

Hi all, hope I'm posting this in the right place...I'm not that clever with pc stuff so please bear with me. I'm from over the pond in the UK and I'm the proud owner of a '42 GPW that I rebuilt from a pile of rubbish some 16 years ago. Anything slightly worn was thrown out and replaced with new/os stuff.
I was sent over here by Scoutpilot and a friendly chap called Gary (GMCJR) from the 'old carbs' site.. I think they gave me the answer to my stumbling carb' problem, but they thought it better if I asked on here about a problem I have with the clutch, well, more of a noise than anything else.
The clutch, like everything on the jeep, has only done about 3,000 miles since rebuild. After engaging first gear (or any gear) there is a rather expensive sounding noise as the pedal is let up and nearly at the top of its travel and the jeep is just about to move off. Think U-boat klaxon from old movies with out Fritz shouting Dive Dive!! Not as loud as that, but still noticeable and annoying.
I can handle all kinds of verbal abuse and actually thrive on bad humour. Nothing you say will upset me. I can easily laugh at myself.
I'm not a mechanic, most of my working life (I'm now retired) I've been in the motor restoration business, painting anything from bicycles to old aircraft to Top fuel Dragsters. I've always had a love of anything automobile/warbird related from the States. My first car was a 1957 Ford 'Skyliner' This is my second jeep. I'm told that I'm more than a little bit eccentric!

Hi rickg,
my family ARE the Circus..
jeff, I live in the West Country in the county of Somerset, just out side of the teeming metropolis of Glastonbury. It was a nice place 30-40 years ago but now it's full of ageing hippies and people who mostly want to live off of others.
Spring is sprung now, sort of, not that you'd know..still bloody cold and damp. Nothing new there then!
What do you know of England?
Jeff'

We lived in the East - Suffolk, RAF Mildenhall to be exact almost five years in the late 80s. Got around the country a good bit, phenomenal rail system. Not your average lazy American teenager, I tried to assimilate as much as possible. Loved the atmos in real pubs, not bars - did my schoolwork in the local at the end of my road. Saw one festival there in your neck of the woods, and if I'm honest I'd love to take a year-long holiday with my family to visit. Just a tad bit more history to take in there! I absolutely loved it.
/guess I could have gone offline with the nostalgia, sorry boys - as usual nothing about jeepin.

Welcome Jeff # 2. Sounds by description your throw out bearing is " Packing it in". Whilst offering up a spanner, (not a box spanner mind you, a open ended spanner) remove the non -whitworth bolts of your bell housing inspection cover and take a look. With engine off, turn it and feel the bearing for dryness and roughness. I and others here have discovered that brand new ones need packing with grease before installing. Now, the sign posted by Scout Pilot says we drift alot or "wander about" while on a different subject. So, do you say Willis or Willlese? We need to know. We all are happy to oblige you here. Washing parts in petrol, raising the bonnet, throwing parts in the boot, or errecting the hood are English terms. Panel beater, front or rear wing, propeller shaft with spyders, Pinking, and of course Lucas "The Prince Of Darness" are quite familiar to me. I look forward to chatting old boy. Oilly

Hello Jeff.
Glad to have you on board. We have a lot of fun and cut it up quite a bit. That's the fun of it. We are also very serious about Jeeps as well.
This motley group of miscreants are probably some of the most talented individuals on the face of the planet. If you like to fun about in the garage... You came to the right place!
Welcome.

Oilly 1 Thanks Oilly, I have always believed that a dry or seizing Release bearing as we Limey's call it would only make a noise when the clutch pedal is depressed, but I bow to your superior knowledge. If it is the culprit, is there anything I can do other than taking out the gearbox etc. to replace it? Oh, and by the way, my jeep has in the past been owned by the British (sounds of 'Rule Britannia again') Army, and various no brainers from the farming community who, over the years have used and abused the poor thing with very bad repairs using any type of bolt that happened to be lying around the barn. If I knew how to put photos' on here I'd post some , but here's a link to Facebook that has some pics' of the rebuild. Hope it works... www.facebook.com/jeff.glasser.33/media_set?set=a.1335769107914.49277.1041683661&type=32 I have always said 'Willis'. I'm happy to change my pronunciation if it should please you.3 Don't you guys think it's quaint how we pronounce things auto related....and yes, I am a jeepahollic, and it cost so much money to build we live in a tent now.4 Re the other Jeff, I know Mildenhall as I spent my early years in East Anglia, mostly in Norwich then a sleepy little town in Suffolk called Bungay. I'm going to try and change my name on here to 'Limey Jeff'. that might stop any confusion.Limey Jeff |

How do I get an e-mail when someone posts a reply to my posts? Limey Jeff That is a feature of the forum. You can disable it. Click on help, and search on how to disable notifications. I like to get the email, because it pops on my cell phone. I wouldn't want to miss a beat around here. Hahaha! |

2 I have always said 'Willis'. I'm happy to change my pronunciation if it should please you. [/quote][/quote] Welcome to this forum!...... Now, I see your English is correct as you pronounce Willys Willis!, several members here have speech impediments, hardheaded and unwilling to accept the fact that they are wrong and incorrectly pronounce Willys willeaase or some derilect similar example... So wrong speakers, we have an English gentleman new to the nuthouse, who is from where English language comes from and well knows how it's pronounced, I like him already! Also Limey Jeff, you are not allowed to change your pronunciation!  Again welcome |

FYI Limey Jeff, Please do not, I say DO NOT listen to the Cap'n!! He is just a lost Viking from Minny-soda, and he has trouble with the North American English! Following his advice is detrimental!! Just saying! |

Yep, we like you already. Limey Jeff. The Willis thing can be overlooked for the moment since you are new. Captain has a speech impediment, but he likes HBR's so I let it go. A true Jeep friend he is. Now in the matter of your Release Bearing, If it's just dry , You might be able to use some spray lube and inject it where the inner front of the bearing meets the shaft. It will be------------A Peckeroid Of A Job. That's Yankee for a pain in the butt. Don't get it on the clutch disc or pressure plate. Use a tube type spray extender. However, if the bearing has packed it in, and is rough like boulders as you turn it, you are screwed. The only way to fix it is pull the tranny or engine. I'll bet you hand pack the new one. Lesson hard earned. I hate that fricken clutch fork! That's another Peckeroid until you figure out the trick. I'll be here to lean on when you're ready. Oilly
