I'd get the tranny fixed first. Then you might want to do a clutch at the same time.

How well is it running now? Any idea on the compression?

 

welcome!! I think first you should use punctuation. It will make your post easier to read. I will try again.

 

check compression, if it is ok then fix teh tranny and get a new clutch, check the pulsation Dampener and check the sticky on the top of this forum.

 

ok read the FAQ too, it will get you oriented on how the forum is run, and it will prevent you from asking questions that have already been answered.

Thanks i feel so welcomed, I'm 17 and probally the youngest person hear so i might ask alot of stupid questions.

 

definately not the youngest here.

 

But you're an oldskoopimp! How can you be the youngest?

 

Im also 17

 

you dont have to be old to do thing the old school way

 

im 16

 

16 here also, oldskoopimp, you would most likely want to start looking over / changing your little things first like, oil cooler lings, spark plugs/wires, changing oil, fuses, clutch fluid, checking things like that before you go on to the bigger things.
