Jim, I have never been able to find this bushing/sleeve in the ETKA, though it may be there. I learned of it just by discussion on the list a couple of years ago, when I had flywheel seal leakage and had to pull the transmission to replace the seal. Though I have seen the felt washer at numerous list vendors, I have never seen the sleeve on any of their respective web sites. Becasue it mounts in the flywheel, and the felt washer is mounted against the needle bearing, the two are a bit dis-associated, and it makes for being difficult to find a source. On the one hand the bushing is a flywheel part, and on the other the felt washer is part of the crankshaft and needle bearing assembly. Try looking on The Samba for Tencent. Might get one there.
