The clutch and 3rd gear were fried. Granted, I must have bought a lemon; which can happen with any brand, but The NB is like a Lexus when compared to the old air-cooled models.
Wait. You bought a classic 1969 OB in 2003 when it was already 34 years old and you want to complain about it being unreliable?
