[6pack] Clutch sponging

[James_]

Thanks. Yea, I have what I believe original parts and will plan on attempting the rebuild - I thought I heard mixed results about doing that. I also see TRF has a rebuild kit for $18 but others have one on sale for $3,00????
Different prices for the master it too. 
Hmmm.
