[Tigers] Clutch - DANG IT!!!!!

[Jay Laifman]

Thanks.  Now I have to wonder if he rebuilt the brakes too.

I suspect he did not.  I guess if I put in DOT 3/4 and one of the liquids
floats like it did in the clutch, I'll know.  Maybe I should pull some out
into a vile, and try it separately.  But, for all I know, different brands, or
DOT 3 versus DOT 3/4 will do that too.

I'm marking my clutch caps with a permanent marker for the next guy!
