Thanks Sudhir.... am at home (once in a wile...) so i don't have the Bentley... i was sure that the 82 had a wire clutch and not a hydro one... anyway, everything is possible... but this is not a personal job..but a customer job, so it's all a question of time $$$$ spent on it, i evaluate the job at about 12 hours... I got great new stuff comming up on: 80-84 BA6 heater, clutch, fridge repair/ignition, propane, stove.... Men ho men am learning a lot!!!! Cheers guys, Ben ps.: first snow storm up here...make you want to travel south...just a question of weeks before i go south again...
