On My 52 four door Plymouth the bottom cushion just pulls out by lifting the front and pulling it forward. Then there are two bolts under the seat back(below into the floor) that come out. Then push the seat back straight up and it will lift away. Two hooks hold it in place. I don’t know what kind of vehicle you have but maybe it’s similar.

If I remember correctly(and its been years since I changed the clutch on mine) that spring might be the external one that attaches to the fork outside the bell housing to pull the fork back. It goes from the left end of the fork and then forward to somewhere on the frame, engine, bell housing, that I don’t remember unless I go look. Your throwout bearing looks correct from what I can see

That you might be able to get fixed if the rest is still good. But as you know stopping one leak might just emboldened another weak spot to let go.

Brass works in I think California makes heater cores and I am sure other things to order but heater cores prices start at $350-400 and have an 18 month wait. I looked for NOS and even used ones but the cost and likelihood a used one would be just like the one I have is high. So I decided I don’t need no stinkin’ heater. Unless one shows up reasonably priced.

I tried to find a place to redo the heater core on my 52 Plymouth this summer. I only found two places who said they would try. The one I took it to said it was too bad to fix. Unfortunately they told me that they can no longer even get the supplies to recore anything. You might have to look into a replacement modern one. Good luck.

I have had success with this company. https://www.automotivetouchup.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqdFDHKZQvUnBGlXmYm3-Ydf684E9D3D-gzaFvU8qgdPYFxY9Rs

I get more remarks about my 1980 Volare regarding past ownership of similar cars or did I buy it new etc. The 1952 gets more nice car or most often what year is it. Though sometimes an old goat like me will guess correctly.

As the owner of a 1980 Volare I can tell you that no matter what the condition is it will not sell(if it sells) for what you think it will.

I saw this on a YouTube Tube video last night. Laughed until I cried. American Exceptionalism my ass. Bean counters rule all.

You might do what I would try if faced with this problem. Make a sign that says”Turn off the car and take the key dummy” and put it in as many places as you might need to until the act of doing so becomes automatic.

One option is Fastenal. They ship individual pieces when they have room in their trucks at what I have heard are somewhat more reasonable rates than most others.

And the $64,000 question, does it keep your battery fully charged?

The truck engine is probably tuned more towards torque than RPMs but of course torque is really what flathead sixes are all about anyway.

My first car was a 54 Plymouth Savoy with that same interior color. Thought I was having a flashback.

And who said modern technology is worthless?
