i buried my 71 fj40 in a 3 foot deep mud puddle. sunk it. since then i've had brake problems, cooling problems and clutch problems. my two big questions are:
i sprayed the radiator off, but when do you know it's clean, should you be able to see light through it?
the clutch, it shifts, but not like it used to. the clutch doesn't respond until the pedal is almost to the floor. could there be mud causing trouble where the clutch fork goes into the trans?
and now it won't start. it turns over real slow, would mud damage the starter? or restrict the flywheel movement? it's a 71 fj40 with a 327 and stock 3 spd.
any help would be greatly appreciated. it's my daily driver, and now weekend mudrunner.
