New Clutch and Flywheel questions



Sorry, there - Turbo. Didn't mean to chafe ya that badly.

I guess I might have been confused on a couple of things. It turns out I
wasn't clear about the use of a 210mm disc in an early 020 and the mention
of the driveshafts were only if he had a 16v tranny that he was swapping in.
I realize he didn't say that and, in general, I apologize for sending out
bad info. However, in my defense, I did ask for more details...

But one thing I am not confused about, O Grand Wizard of Volkswagen
engineering, is that your attitude F*CKING SUCKS!

"Some of the misinformation on this list is really starting to bother me!"

Well - maybe some of us are tired of the way you shit on anyone who offers
something incorrect. At least they are being helpful enough to try to offer
their perspective, correct or not.

We all want correct information and while stressing the validity of that
information is tantamount to what this list is about, you might want to take
step back and picture how you're portraying yourself with your Venus-Flytrap
temper. If you don't care about that - then, fine. I feel sorry for you.
Have a nice day.

My irritated $0.02, JT
