[alfa] Re: The other end of the clutch pedal

[C2slayman@xxxxxxx]

Amanda,
     Hans has correctly diagnosed the problem as your clutch pivot shaft.  
The weld has broken.  I would stronly recommend getting a new one with the added 
gusset weld - it will never break again (this is one of the few pet peaves I 
have with the Spider design.)   Check with any of the businesses that support 
the digest and make sure they have that extra weld - last time I checked, that 
parts didn't come that way from the factory. 

Cheers,
Charlie

Subject: [alfa] The other end of the clutch pedal

Dear Alfa folks,
   Greetings! Back on the List after computer problems. I had to put a new 
slave cylinder on an "86 Spider Veloce and it was great for about a month. 
Then i had to double clutch it. I tried to drive it yesterday and clutch 
would not engage at all!
Looked at everything and the other end of the clutch pedal, up under the 
hood, where the plunger goes into the master cylinder, wasn't throwing the 
plunger at all. Upon closer inspection, the second part of the "arm" that 
goes onto some type of gear box looking thing had busted a weld. The "arm" 
has a circular indentation, and the gear box thing has a circular piece 
sticking out. they appear to have been welded togather.
I guess after that long winded, half baked explaination my question is can I 
have the things welded back togather, or do i need to buy  new parts?
                                                                             
      Amanda
