The magic word again, RUSH... I can't get away from it. I had to take my CV8 Monaro to a holden dealer yesterday (notice I don't mention the Holden dealer yet as I will allow them the benefit of the doubt). The monaro had to go for a warranty job, regarding a slight clutch flutter. In other words, a slight vibration coming up my leg when using the clutch. <br />Now as most of you who know me personally around Australia know what I am like, I am very fussy with my workmanship, I do not make mistakes, thats why my wife calls me Mr Perfect...just read above and it bothers me to come home after this warranty job to find problems. Because I don't trust anyone, I have always done everything myself regardless if its engine assembly, anything to do with motor vehicles except differentials and automatics, anything in the building game, anything to do with electronics, computers and the electrical game not to mention satellite and digital encryption where most of the above I am qualified. I even perfected tiling, concreting, you name it. I was the first person in Australia to win Mr Holden at Castlereagh drags running mid 12 seconds on a quarter mile with a street registered Monaro with a 308 engine in it. Like said above, I never missed a gear, never dropped a drop of water or oil on the track in over 10 years of racing. I won't get into it how I did all this but I clearly found out that people in the old days never crack tested anything. I would get 8 brand new venolia <br />pistons and I would send three of them back because they had fine cracks, so I then would get the replacement pistons, go to my mate Wayne Jones engineering test those 3 and it was not unusual to go back another time. Now, I would do this with every component in the engine that could be crack tested. I don't expect any Holden dealer to be a thorough as this but at least I would expect them to put the slave cylinder cap back on. Mind you, I only put my overalls on, got my stands out and my massive floor jack and within two seconds I found two major problems. The other problem I found was oil pissing out of the Bell Housing (clutch fluid). Just as well as this drained the reservoir up the top which removed the fluid with no cap that could have sprayed all over the internal paint work. So, what did I do? Put away my torque wrench and my spanners and rang the Holden dealer back up. Its just a pity for insurance reasons that I am not allowed to supervise my own vehicle because you have to remember that this slave cylinder losing oil could have been easily a brake cylinder and we all know what happens when you run out of fluid there!!. <br />I will say this again, NASA does make mistakes but very few of them. When they have one of their engineers working on the space shuttle, there is one behind observing and noting the work and ticking it off, and behind him there is another person videoing the work going on. I don't expect any mechanic to do this, but I was bought up to use the roll call method, you do everything to a <br />certain stage eg fit the fly wheel, don't forget to loctite it and tension it to the correct specifications. Then I would come back in 5 minutes and tension it again twice more. Then I would move to one side and write down on my clipboard, flywheel successfully tightened. I would use this method for everything I do including electronics, computers and everything I do. I do not forget to tighten anything, as much as forgetting to put a cap on the slave cylinder...round 2 commences this afternoon. I hope I don't have to add any more problems to this list.<br />I am very disappointed to say the least!!! Since moving up here to Queensland, this is now the 4th time I have allowed anyone to do something for me and I have been let down. <br />Am I unlucky? Or is this something that happens everywhere?<br />Phil <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" />
