Jim,
I have never been able to find this bushing/sleeve in the ETKA, though
it may be there. I learned of it just by discussion on the list a couple
of years ago, when I had flywheel seal leakage and had to pull the
transmission to replace the seal.  Though I have seen the felt washer at
numerous list vendors, I have never seen the sleeve on any of their
respective web sites. Becasue it mounts in the flywheel, and the felt
washer is mounted against the needle bearing, the two are a bit
dis-associated, and it makes for being difficult to find a source. On
the one hand the bushing is a flywheel part, and on the other the felt
washer is part of the crankshaft and needle bearing assembly.

Try looking on The Samba for Tencent. Might get one there.
