I have the tranny out of Billy Bones, so I pulled the clutch and flywheel to replace the pilot bearing and the flywheel seal.
The little felt washer is shredded.  How critical is this felt washer?  What are the consequences of not putting one back
in?  I cannot seem to find one locally and I hope to reinstall my tranny tonight.

Second question.  Bentley (or maybe Haynes) recommends replacing the flywheel bolts.  I cannot find these locally
either.  Does anyone ever reuse them?  Anyone ever had them fail?

Thanks in advance.
