Thanks to all who responded to my post, and a few follow up
questions/comments:

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?  Is this the bearing that requires a counter spring on
the slave?

MARK BRADAKIS: Great story. Too bad you had to disassemble everything a
second time after hearing the crunching sounds. Do you recommend TRF kit or
something 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.
