Re: Clutch stuff -- Part deux..the final chapter

Jim and all...

Ok, I'm convinced.  All of you can stop, but I do appreciate all the
input--especially from Frank Bauer who sent me a spreadsheet with all the
part numbers listed, prices, retailers, etc.  Great help.

 Ordered all the parts from Mark at Adirondack.  Received them today. He
always gives me a good deal and gets the order right.  Highly recommended.
http://www.germanautoparts.com/  No, I'm not his dad, blah, blah, blah.

Based on the advice of many of you, I'm going to replace all the seals,
gaskets, bearings, sleeves, etc while I'm at it.

Thanks again, all..

...now if I could just get people over for a big "clutch replacement party"
at my house on the lake in Maine...heh
