@Billman250 Hate I'm going to miss this year's trip - I'd have loved to have you take a look at my car. I was happy to get the TCT installed by you last Spring.
Having this issue with rev hang when coming to a stop. Clutch to Neutral as I'm just about stopped, Revs stay up until come to a complete stop (clutch is released). Then revs go down to about 1000rpms. When I push the clutch in the revs drop/bog then come up to normal and I then shift normally. Also happens if I'm backing up, clutch to put into drive and revs drop/bog. Wondering if it means my master/slave cylinder is going out. I also have the clutch pedal stick sometimes down at the bottom when shifting - you mentioned I need to grease the clutch fork tips which sadly I just never got around to doing. That's on the list of things I need to do.

@Billman250 Thank you for doing this!! I would love to be on the list for VA, axle nut TSB/retorque, and general clutch questions. I don't think I need the TCT replaced but I'd love to buy one. I'm at 88k miles and it would be nice to have on hand for when it's time. Sending you a PM with for TCT availability

@Billman250 Would love to get the axle nuts checked. Will show up without center caps. Appreciate you doing this!

My appointment with you got canceled years ago, well overdue! Check my valves and do a once-over, listen to the engine and drive it around the parking lot in a circle. Maybe hook you up with any radio gear you might be interested in.

Hi @Billman250 I would also love an axle retorque be done to my car, and that might be all it needs… It’s a 2004 with just under 35k miles right now, never had valves done. Maybe a clutch adjustment? I’ll also need assistance removing the center caps off stock wheels.
Thank you good sir! Very much looking forward to meeting you again.

Hey Bill. I am going to try and boot my almost 15 year old out of the bed early enough to get down before 7:30 so I can lend an ear/hand, whatever. I might bail seconds before the "NEWBIES" head out(kinda been my thing) but we shall see how it goes. Hopefully no smokies are out that early!
