[DMCForum] Re: throw-out bearing replacement

[tmpintnl@xxxxxxxxx]

Walt - Now you can see why I strongly recommended doing a complete 
clutch change instead of simply changing the throw-out bearing.  I 
didn't notice an order for a clutch kit come through DPNW `:-/  In 
regards to the removal of the automatics ... I think that you are 
correct, in that the bolts for the torque converter can be accessed 
through some ports in the housing.  In short, a good tranny jack is 
what it's all about when doing a clutch.
