The Good, Bad, And Ugly For Repairs (21 June 2025)
www.globalanimalrescueandresponse.com/donate
Well, the repairs are ongoing. I was right about the brakes and release bearing. As you can see, there's not much left on those rear brakes and there are only a few hundred kilometers left on them at the most. A few really hard stops could also be the end of the pads.
I can hear the release bearing humming when I come of the gas in gear. They confirmed it needs replacing immediately before it explodes, which will stop us in our tracks.
The other issue is now the clutch plate that goes against the pressure plate. That is almost 90% worn, and any further would score the flywheel, which is really bad. This is why the van is having shifting issues going into some gears. So its now a completely new clutch going into the van, which has just increased the cost of the work today. But we did get almost 150,000km out of this clutch, and it was not repaired previously that we know of.
Total estimate is now going to be between $400-500 USD.
Any help with donations for this repair would be greatly appreciated. This is absolutely unexpected, but 100% necessary so we don't break while in the most dangerous locations. It's an investment in our lives.
We are Global Animal Rescue And Response and helping those in need is what we will do..... After we fix the van. 🐾💛
