Try rolling it in gear with the engine off and clutch pedal down. Measure slave cylinder travel when you press the pedal. Sounds like you made some progress though.

New cases seem to be steadying. Still a lot of new cases per day. A good reference point.

This web site really seems to do a good job of collecting and presenting data. You can click on any heading and any state or country and reorder things or open a new page with a whole new set of charts. If you want to see where we, the USA, are or where your state is, just click through and explore. And here is the page that describes who "Worldometers" is. They seem reputable. Lots of other good data on their web site. https://www.worldometers.info/about/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ Here is what the death curve looks like. Don't see any plateauing here.

Here's the west coast coalition. The coastal states, so far. Washington, Oregon, California. WOC. Or COW. https://komonews.com/news/coronavirus/washington-oregon-california-join-pact-for-covid-19-collaboration

Hydrochloroquine and heart problems. Not good. Beware. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/heart-woes-spur-partial-stop-malaria-drug-study-70124183

I have had several transmissions that would go through the gears without the clutch disengaged (clutch pedal down). Maybe due to the sharpness of the synchro teeth and the fluid used. Not arguing, just saying it's not a definitive clue about what the problem might be. One thing that is close to having the clutch disengaged is to remove the propeller shaft. That will let the output shaft rotate more easily. Just friction and the weight of the gear train stopping it. Either way, make a check list and check things. Fluid, the drain plug magnet, the bushings, proper clutch operation, etc. If the clutch disc is stuck you can try rolling the car while it's in gear and the clutch pedal is down. That might break it free. No need for an engine to try that.

Have you drained and checked the fluid? Might just be that things are a little rusty. You'll want to drain the fluid anyway if you have to pull it. You might find metal parts that tell a story. Check your shifter bushings also. They can fall apart and not move the shift rod.

But will he still be involved in the pressers? Today will tell. Cuomo has apparently put together a group/task force/coalition/consortium of governors of surrounding states. Doesn't seem like they have a name for it yet. It will be interesting to see how it works out and if other states join in. The United States of The Northeast. Cuomo just opened things up for other states to join. The door is open. Cuomo - New York Murphy - New Jersey. Lamont - Connecticut Wolf - Pennsylvania Carney - Delaware Raimando - Rhode Island

Cuomo's presentation this morning really was on the money as far as laying out a plan and describing how the efforts to "reopen" could go wrong. Without a vaccine, or a large number of people who have been infected and recovered, there will not be an actual "going back to normal". It just can't happen, because "normal" is what allowed the virus to infect so many people. All it will take is one asymptomatic super-spreader and a new hot spot appears. South Korea is a great example. Distancing and hand-washing and masks will be the new normal. Any relaxing of mitigation will have to be for small numbers of people with monitoring of new infections, to hold infection under the manageable level of the healthcare system. In essence, the healthcare system will turn in to a COVID-19 processing plant, with efforts to keep it at maximum capacity, to allow the economy to recover. So, if you're older and/or have underlying conditions, best to hide out for a year and a half until the vaccine gets developed. Otherwise you'll get sucked in to the processing equipment.

Direct deposit? I saw an interesting ad the other day. Mount Sinai hospital was soliciting donations for COVID-19 efforts. The $2 trillion bill that was passed was supposed to fund efforts for the battle but they are still soliciting donations. Just seemed weird. Donate your $1200 to the fight. https://giving.mountsinai.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app216a?idb=581985730&df_id=1480&mfc_pref=T&1480.donation=form1&NONCE_TOKEN=5C2EC2AF11E2466C50AFAA7E98A1FF64&set.SingleDesignee=2542&_ga=2.46632238.888431468.1586798782-485874325.1586798782#utm_source=mountsinai.org&utm_medium=webpage&utm_campaign=covid19research2

The White House will be back today at 5 pm Eastern time. They were quiet all weekend except for a TV phone interview and some tweets. Cuomo is also back at 2 pm Eastern with the governors of surrounding states. Probably to announce a "reopening" plan, or a coalition of governors/states. Things are shaping up. https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/

Some followup on the USS Theodore Roosevelt debacle. The Navy is expressing the need for higher volume testing also. The DOD has a budget and can fund research. Wouldn't be a surprise if their involvement sped things up. It still takes money and direction, no matter how well-intentioned people are. https://komonews.com/news/coronavirus/navy-reports-first-coronavirus-death-from-roosevelt-crew

Cuomo really puts a lot of work in to his presentations. Sounds more like a project manager with a professional degree than a politician. Each presentation is more developed than the last one. Always something new and forward-thinking.

I'm learning a lot about Nissan clutches. I had assumed that the cylinders would be the same diameter but apparently they're not. ( Edit - they just put it in a different spot, it's there.) Says 35 mm... As EuroDat implied, you can have a lot of wasted movement at the rod from the foot pedal to the master. The pedal spring can hide that slop.

Funny that we're discussing the fine details of presenting data and over in England they have some pretty crazy conspiracy stuff going on. Why would 5G be worse than 4G or 3G or 2G or 1? I don't think that these people even know what the G stands for. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/12/facebook-acts-to-halt-far-right-groups-linking-covid-19-to-5g https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/apr/07/how-false-claims-about-5g-health-risks-spread-into-the-mainstream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G

You're using the wrong words and maybe replaced or adjusted the wrong parts. The float bowls are what fills with fuel. The floats are what rise up and close the needle valve when the bowl is full. It sounds like your front float needle might be stuck closed. What year car and what carbs?

Here's the CDC site's mortality data. Looks like it might be your source. That Flourish site doesn't cite their data sources either. I'm guessing that they just used the daily death reports for COVID-19, two days worth shown below, and probably just took something like the CDC data and did some math. I don't know. My point was that without the source and the explanation of method you just don't know what anyone did. Not sure why you estimated an average to get COIVD-19 deaths.. Flourish was just showing how reported daily deaths are growing, compared to other causes of death. They calculated daily deaths and showed how the daily reported deaths had finally overtaken the other death causes, on a daily basis. It's just my nature to examine the source of anybody's claims. There are experts who post on this forum who have obvious inclinations to skew the facts to make a point. Humans are fallible. I'm not saying that you do that, just that it can happen. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db355.htm https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

You forgot to cite your data sources motorman. Edit - the cancer numbers in your response to the animation. You're using numbers but we can't tell where you got them. Of course, we all have the Google, but still, citations are standard practice for professionals. The Flourish people just seem to be graphics artists. They probably just picked some Google sites and cobbled together an animation. But, without sources cited, we're all in the same boat. Floating around in a sea of random numbers. https://flourish.studio/blog/

That is a good chart, at the end. COVID-19 is #1 now. Edit - See my other post below. Here are a couple more interesting articles, one about Brazil's big experiment, and another about the virus itself. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/12/bolsonaro-dragging-brazil-towards-coronavirus-calamity-experts-fear Brazil has not been affected much, at least as far as the collected data shows. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Here's the latest on what's known about the virus itself. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/12/five-months-on-what-scientists-now-know-about-the-coronavirus

Good luck finding a "points plate". You probably mean breaker plate. Either way, breaker plates are almost impossible to find. If you didn't break the plastic bearing cage you should be able to reassemble it. The wire spring clip is hard to get on, but it is possible. The FSM describes taking it apart, so it is a normal thing. I thought that they used two springs on all of the distributors. But the FSM only mentions one.

The 71 guys would know for sure. You're almost there by yourself though. Just figure out how the green light could come on. 71 might have a ground circuit back through the green light. Learn how the AC compressor clutch works. It's just an electrical system. You can do it. Seriously, it will be good for you. When you turn the thermostat control to the right you must be competing the circuit through the AC compressor. Just ask yourself "how can this be?"

My bad. I had a 76 that I could start with my 95 Pathfinder key.

This time we just need to pay attention. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/12/wuhan-celebrates-its-liberation-as-covid-19-lockdown-ends

That sounds right.

Here's another article about a state with a plan. Lays out some of the things that matter, and what they're considering and trying to make happen. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/11/washington-state-coronavirus-crisis
