Like who cares anyhoo but FWIW got the RR guide pin in again.  Front pin
was actually too big and did not fit.  (I have that problem a lot;)
New rear poser drilled rotors calipers pads and ebrake cable is a weird
sensation (not to be confused with an edweirdo sensation;)  Like new I'd
say.  Oh so sweet an ebrake that actually works.  How long has it been.
New crazy SRF fluid works great.
Clutch still slipppin..  dam dam dam!   Gonna have to go in there again.
Dam!  Not sure what happened.  Possiblilities are:
Failure to retorque bell housing
Synchro shift overfill?
Engine oil overfill?
Anything else??
My own idiocy??
I'm really not happy about this:(  but think it will surely be easier
the second time in and provide the opportunity for the spec III disc.
And after the drive in this AM, I am 'Hap'py to report that my butt
skidpad believes the firmest setting on the avants HRSB(tm) is four
stars;)  Gotta love bigger and firmer, yes. Like everything else on the
car though, I fully expect it to break at some point but the car is like
vehicular herion (VH,) just friggin unreal when everything works; power,
brakes, handling.  You can dress a pig up and teach it to dance and in
the end it's still a pig but, this is as cool a pig as can be had IMHO.
BTW a good 'sic' friend of mine is planning on eliminating his kitty
altogether.  Is this illegal and if so who's going to catch him. If he
passes emissions testing, isn't that all that matters?
Cheers'
