my clutch problem: the mechanics input

[green536@hotmail.com (Chris DeLong)]

Ok well lets try this guys before we send him out to take his tranny off 
again.

I dont remember who it was with the original problem but go out and check 
your tranny code. If it is a tranny with the larger mainshaft then it would 
be VERY difficult to install an 8v disk and then slap the tranny back in. At 
least that way you can eliminate one factor easily.
