A little mechanical excitement

Cormanus, you could do what top fuel and funny car drivers do with their damaged parts. Autograph it and sell it to one of your adoring fans.

You could do an auction on the forum! Glad all you have to deal with is a larger service bill than anticipated. Looks like it could have been bad.

Thanks for the kind words all. It could have been very ugly,I guess, but I'm not completely sure the sprocket could have come off the countershaft due to the limited space between the end of the shaft and the inside of the cover. However, I hope never to get a definitive answer to that question.

As to the cover, it has at least one crack heading out from the hole and it holds the slave cylinder for the clutch. I'm planning to keep using it as is until the replacement arrives.

I may stuff and mount the damaged article somewhere in the garage after that.

I just read this.
Did you finally replace the damaged cover??

[Cormanus]

Yes I did, peterbaron.
