Thanks again to all the fine folks on the list that offered advice on my clutch problem Sunday.

OK, Sunday morning I went out to the van, popped the lid and looked at the motor. Game plan was to disconnect the slave cyl off of the tranny and narrow down the prob to hydraulic or within the clutch assy. I looked in and there was the slave assy dangling from the van! both bolts had aged and blown out! Cool, except it's Easter morning and no one's open. I started looking around the van to find something to dissemble to use the bolts and nuts. My GF suggests using the license plate bolts (she knows nothing about cars), I look down and sure enough they'll work! I popped them on the slave cly and drove home with my plate taped in the back window :-)

Thanks again!

Mikey `87 Westy
