Been there lol I got pissed off enough one night and got a replacement pad from rockauto then later on I freaking found the original one in my damn trunk of all places wedged in between the spare tire.BrandonW;1947787 said:got another rubber cover for my clutch pedal have been without one for like 3 years lol since the original one wore through

Shane;1947831 said:Quite true. There is also the ever present urge (as a redneck at heart) to somehow stuff that '73 Pontiac 400ci + trans sitting in my garage, into my poor little Supra. Lol but I think the best solution would be getting another 7M to rebuild while mine slowly dies. It still has tons of power just sounds really bad and idles funky.

Sounds like a good idea. I may look into the valves and compression while I'm doing my water pump next weekend.

Sounds about right, 2200-2800 and more pronounced when warm and varies with throttle.
A "tinish" rattle/ticking sound.

Definitely sounds like lifters to me. I'm not an expert though. A more pronounced thump/knock would b lower end. Tinish sort of ticking sound sound seems like it would b in the valvetrain.
