got the redline... gl-4 for the transaxle and gl-5 for the front diff.  not
easy... nobody sells it here.  even the redline authorized dealer in
Honolulu (Oahu) wouldn't ship to me on this island (Hawaii)... got an auto
parts place in Maui to ship it to me by air freight.  about the same $$$ as
shipping it from the mainland, but faster.  shawn and I are splitting a case
of MT-90.  it ain't easy living here in polynesia...  doesn't get cold tho,
thank you very much.

so, anyway, viscous coupling goes in next week with the redline.  will let
you know how it goes.  still having problems with the clutch shuddering...
but only occassionally.  seems to get worse as I drive longer... maybe as it
gets warmer.  making the vc change before investigating the clutch shudder
symptom to see what happens.  suspect clutch will have to be replaced.  Only
41K original on it, so may be the original clutch, who knows.

thanks again.
