Re: 16v tranny/clutch problem. Suggestions?

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

@ things it could be: ring gear rivets do not want to be friends anymore and 
have machined a hole in the tranny case or the pushrod bushing is bad and 
consequently is leaking gear oil on the clutch disc. Either way you still 
need to pull the tranny. HTH
