When we launched into the cluth repair job this weekend, we did so trusting that the Haynes manual we bought would give us enough information to effectively do the job. For the most part, the manual was adequate, but there were alot of details that were left out that would have been very helpful to a driveway full of novice car repairmen.

So I wondered, why aren't there websites that give that kind of information. Undoubtedly, the new web medium would be a better source of information now that digital pictures can be taken, modified to include helpful labels, and posted to a website in only a couple hours time, at most. But after searching, I have been shocked at how little information there is online. Most of the tips and instructions are of the hardly helpful sort, and posted in tiny bits and pieces on hundreds of outdated forums and message boards.

I think someone should start a new site. Something kind of like Scooterhelp.com. For a beautiful example of what I'm talking about, check out this page specifically, which has, I would guess, enough information for even the most unmechanical of my friends to easily change the brakes on a classic Lambretta.
