[Vwdiesel] Clutch problems

[Erik Lane]

Good point. I was thinking more of hoping to not carve chunks out of my
flywheel. I'd hate even more to knock a chunk out of the tranny itself!

At any rate, most optimistic estimate of when I can get to it is sometime
this coming week. Between classes and handling everything else in life it
might take a bit.

Thanks!
Erik
