So I'm trivial am I??  ;)  er.....M6 1.00 I think!

I'd post more about replacing the clip, blah, blah, blah, but you
guys did a good job responding and I'd just be repeating what
you said.  However, I'd replace the stud with a new one from Mr.
VW and wouldn't use RTV on the gaskets.  I'd use Loctite #518
instead.  And, Tom, its 10 bolts not 8 that hold the bellhousing
on!
