[V8] Clutch job

[Coleman, David]

Is this the brown car in NJ on ebay a few weeks back?  You stole that
thing.  Let me know if you want out.

The holder and centering tool are standard clutch r&r tools -- most
who've done the job before have no problem doing it without either.
They are used to make sure the splines and center hole are centered so
when you reinstall the transmission, it slips right in.  Easier said
than done w/ such a heavy gearbox.  Anyway, a good light and an eyeball
usually do the job.  If you feel the need, yer flaps will have these
tools.

I'd guess the G 000 100 is your standard issue lithium or regular ol'
grease -- to keep the clutch fork and actuation operating smoothly.  No
need to hit the dealer for that.
