My first repair was to my 69 440 Roadrunner. One week after I bought it I burnt the clutch. With the help of a Haynes manuel I undertook the job. Complete tranny, clutch and flywheel removal. Stupid me I did this using a bumper jack to support the car and my chest to raise and lower the tranny.

I remember that my parent and neighbors thought I would never get that car rrunning again. Needless to say, after a week of work the car fired up, and to the amazement of everyone, I drove down the street with a new clutch.

This car burned clutches like nothing. After all these were the days of straight line drag racing. After about three clutches in a year time, I was able to get my total R&R of the tranny, and clutch down to about 3 1/2 hours.
