'91 200q20v Clutch Replacement Imminent

[Frank Stadmeyer]

Thanks Fred,
I was looking at Blau's we pages and they had a listing of other
parts that they suggested to replace at the same time and I think
this was on it. But along with it was the slave cylinder and I
thought I wouldn't replace that but then I realized that it was a
small drop in the bucket so I've come to my senses and I'm replacing
everything I can lay my hands on.  After all the car does have 200k +
miles on it.
