John,
Look in one of the access holes on the top or lower left side of the tranny.
Take a mirror and look for the there 3 or 4 sets of little tab springs around
the perimeter of the pressure plate that take the deceleration of the flywheel.
These can break, especially when the clutch over-throws, which may be possible
with the PO mods. This is most common with an aluminum flywheel and a motor
with a little horsepower, but it can happen in the stock configuration as well.

PS- Since Jahimiak's car weighs 1100 pounds, many of us refer to it as a Diet
Sprite. Others call it far worse.
