Hey Volks
        I have 3 questions tonight so I thought I would break them up so
only the interested would read.  My 85 auto westie makes a light clunk
when I let off the power, right about when the transmission "decoulples"
from the motor (by that I mean your gliding and motor revs drop to 1200
or so while going down a hill to a stop sign or something).  I plan on
checking the CV mounting bolts but the sound has not gotten worseover
the last 200 mi. or so, so I'm wondering if it might be normal.  I have
to listen for closely for this clunk or I can't hear it.  Even "All
Things Concidered" on NPR will mask the sound.  Any ideas?  TIA


Later,
Stephen Davis
85 Westie
