[DML] Re: Stuttering clutch

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can watch the throwout bearing and pressure plate fingers in
action through unused clutch fork openings in either side of the
bellhousing. Costs nothing to at least look. Do it with the engine
running (car on jack stands rather than ramps). Unfortunately you
can't see what the input shaft itself is doing (you'll be looking at a
hollow tube that surrounds it).

I've had bad U joints feel deceptively like clutch chatter -- wonder
if CV joints could do the same?
