[s-cars] it won't stop!

[Thomas R Green]

Mike,

Your subject line seems to indicate that the clutch propels the car  
just fine.  You might try replacing all the hydraulics before you pull  
the transmission.  I agree with Fred about the most likely problem,  
but you don't know for sure.  I don't want to spoil the fun of  
removing the transmission, but you are going to have the rack R/R  
fun.  Jimmy Pribble had a post on his rack rebuild on Quattroworld I  
believe.  It should discourage any thoughts of a DIY job.  I vote for  
the Jorgen rebuild myself.
