Message: [QUOTE="NathanA, post: 945370, member: 56244"] the noise and dragging in your clutch could be the result of broken/warped plate and notches worn in the inner and outer hubs. sacked out springs would make the clutch slip not grab. it is also possible, especially if your oil is loosing its lubricity, that the clutch outer hub bushing has worn or galled to the main shaft causing it to drag. a dragging clutch will definately break down the oil. it sounds as though the water pump water/oil seals and impeller shaft need to be replaced. the exhaust smell could be from a leaking right main seal or maybe a coolant leak into the combustion chamber. that might explain the grey goop from the pv tube. just inspect ( look, measure, fondle, taste) the parts before you buy what you dont need. what type of tranny oil do you use? spectro, maxima, bell ray are good, penzoil motor oil is pure evil!
