My thanks to everyone who contributed to this fix. Mine locked up 3 days ago. My neighbor came over today after work and we tackled the fix. Took a little over 2 hours but now all is well. My 72 year old arthritic hands will never be the same. I barley have the strength in my left knee to push in the clutch, but I still get scratch when I hit 2nd gear.
Again, my thanks to all.
