I had problems with determining the number  of shims  required  for 
correct spacing on the hydraulic throw out bearing.  I finally 
contacted Herman and he confirmed that I had screwed up...then he and 
Helena drove up here (300 miles) to correct  my error (s) and to help 
me  finish the installation!!  I consider that  far and above normal 
vendor obligation, I will be happy to plug Herman and his conversion 
to anyone...

I  was thrilled  to see  that Herman got  such a great write up in 
Kas Kastner's new book, even to be picked as the West Coast guy to 
see about transmissions...if  you have the book, check pages 
170,171,172, and 173
