Thanks to all who responded to my post, and a few follow up questions/comme=
nts:
BERRY PRICE: You installed a LUK clutch and stated, =E2=80=9C=E2=80=A6and i=
ts been trouble.=E2=80=9D Did you mean it=E2=80=99s been no trouble?
TOM WALLING: I may be leaning toward the =E2=80=9CMagic Clutch Kit=E2=80=9D=
. Do they specify the brands of each component, or do you know from having =
installed the kit?
DICK TAYLOR: Would you recommend TRF=E2=80=99s kit, just their TO bearing, =
or some other combination?=C2=A0 Is this the bearing that requires a counte=
r spring on the slave?
MARK BRADAKIS: Great story. Too bad you had to disassemble everything a sec=
ond time after hearing the crunching sounds. Do you recommend TRF kit or so=
mething else?
TIMOTHY HOLBROOK: Yes, I=E2=80=99m aware of the importance of proper alignm=
ent and will ensure that the studs and bolts are properly in place.
Thanks again to all. This is a very helpful resource to have.
