[Vwdiesel] New Clutch Slipping like Mad, UPDATE

Well, I didn't have a garage, but I was able to get
the car up on the edge of a corner of the sidewalk so
I'd have some concrete.

A guy loaned me a VW engine hangar he'd made (copied
from Bentley manuals) which worked great to hang the
engine without having things underneath the car to get
in the way.

I also was able to take advantage of a couple really
nice days to get the job done.  The temp here was
about 65 here on Saturday, which is very much
unseasonably high, but it sure didn't bother me!  I
was afraid the new clutch would come in the first day
of a blizzard or something!
