Scott, if there is an issue with clutch disks, I suspect that Kelvin Dodd will 
weigh in here and tell us.....!

Hi,

After following the advice of several on the list, it turns out it's the 
clutch. Specifically it looks like the center section of the clutch disk 
disintegrated.

Of course it's disapointing because I replaced the clutch 3,700 miles and 
two years ago, (and I wasn't here for a year).

At some point I spoke with Bob Mason at the B Register who says it's the 
fourth time in three months he's heard of it happening. As he tells it, 
there's two suppliers of B clutches; Borg and Becker and another company 
whose name escapes me at the moment. All the ones he's heard of failing are 
from the other company.

I looked at my receipt for the original clutch from Moss, and it doesn't say 
who it was from, so I have no way of knowing, but I guess it's safe to 
assume...

Lesson learned.

In any event, thanks to everyone for the great suggestions.
