87 5000 cs Clutch



The clutch in my car has been extremely stiff since I bought it a few months
ago.  My mechanic said it was time to replace it.  Other than the stiff
pedal it was working fine until today.  Suddenly the pedal got really soft.
I pulled over immediately to see if it was still working and if any fluid
was leaking anywhere.  The clutch still engaged and disengaged fine and no
fluid leaks, so I drove on.  I found out on the highway that the clutch is
now very weak,  I can cause it to slip by giving it full throttle.  I guess
it is time to replace the clutch!

Any advice about replacement parts and other things to look out for while
the trans is out?

Thanks

Jack
