hi i have recently been having major engine problems. Ive wrote about some of them already. Ive concluded that i need all the seals redone in the engine to stop the oil leak but recently ive been hearing a clacking sound kinda like when you used to put a base ball card in your spoke of your bike when your a kid. It happens between first and second gear, and around 2.5 and 3 thousand rpm then when i shift from each gear it goes away then comes back at around the same rpm. its worse when starting up a hill. the whole time ive been having my engine problems ive had lack of acceleration while going up a steep hill. i read up on the hmaservice website in the troubleshooting section and it sounds like it could be the clutch system. just wandering if this is a possibilty.

 

ya its worse now it "clacks" liek a machine gun right from start up and threw all gears at all speeds and rpms its going into the shop soon i hope i refuse to drive it liek that. wouldnt be smart of me to anway. i write once i find out what the damage is.

 

I wouldn't drive it. If a problem is getting worse then it is leading up to failure, you wouldn't want that cruising down the high-way

 

i was told just by a mechanic listening to it that the engine was toast.
i was wandering what kind of money im looking at to rebuild it
