Post-storage problems - seek wise ones advice

[Matt M PA]

I'm not a Viper tech, but here is what I would first check. You have a hydraulic clutch. First check the clutch fluid to make sure that it has not leaked or is very low. Air in the line could make it act up. Also, it may have just given up. I am guessing that this could make an up front noise. I think technically they call it a throw out bearing. When I had my '94 it had to be replaced as it was leaking. (Saw a slight leak around the bellhousing.)

BINGO! Likley clutch problem.

IF YOU DID NOT occasionaly run up the car in 6 mos, it was desert-dry, and maybe had a sticking lifter till you got it warmed up a few times.

Seals and gaskets dry out in long storage. WARM TO OPERATING TEMP every 30-45 days. Roll the car back and fwd to oil all the exposed gears..
