Sorry Kevin but ya need a clutch.... think about everything else you may
need now while ya have the engine out.... ya might want to use that wish
list section on the bus depot site.... to just get a feel of how much all
the parts will cost. Do everything the engine needs NOW and you'll save on
total labor cost down the road.
