So the clutch went out (actually it was the throw out bearing) on my 924 N/A a few weeks ago. On the weekend I finally pulled the transmission to start the process of getting to the clutch.

I opened up the dust cover on the transmission bell housing and found a bunch of shredded up paper looking shit:

So. . . there was quite a bit of that stuff in there:

It turns out there was a mouse living in there at some point. I'm going to guess it was way back when the car was abandoned in a field in 1997:

Oh. there were 2 mice

Awwwww How cute.

So aside from the mouse setback, I got the transmission out without any major trouble. Theres never a dull moment with this car. lol

And a pair of steel cap boots!

Personally though I`m no barefoot hippy. Usually wear thongs here in Oz, and get my share of cut and bruised feet too.

IMO those mice are less than 6 months dead.

My knowledge of the rate of decay of mice is probably not the best. I was just guessing because in 1997 I bought the car from a guy who had it abandoned in field of weeds and stuff. Since 1998 It's been driven around almost every day. I don't think mice would have had a time or place when they could have made such a nice home in there. :-]

Maybe they were powering the car instead of the engine, and when they died, I noticed that my clutch was bad.
