[DML] Re: clutch release bearing

Cecil -

It sounds to me like you received one of the early release bearings 
instead of a later one. Based on your VIN you should have one like 
you took off, with the plastic insert. If you got one of the ones 
that's all metal, then you got one for an early, early car, like a 
less than 1000 VIN. Only a few hundred cars used this style part.
