> Thanks to all your suggestions before.  I finally was able to pull the
> tranny (I was a virgin) with the help of my nephew.  Two is way better
> than one.
>
> Biggest problems (losers)...
>
> 1. The CV allen bolts, what a pain!!!
> 2. The slave mounting.  Germans could do better.  It seems like a British
> design.
> 3. Zack - the dog - decided to eat the brand new air hose while we were
> under the car.
> 4. We could not separate (very easily) the trans out from engine.  Found
> out why.
>
> Which brings me up to speed.  I have attached photos.
>
> The pressure plate seems ok thickness wise.  But it is discolored.   It
> looks in fact like the flywheel.
>
> Flywheel (see picture) There is no scoring per say, but a lot of
> discoloration.  While it doesn't look like an oil drip, there is some
> darker grease at bottom of bell housing.  (See attached photo.)
>
> Bearing - there is the rub...when I pulled tranny out... ping ping, little
> pieced of bearing fell out all over ground.  That is a problem I know.
> Lucked out getting a pic of that trying to squeeze in there.
>
> So that you have it.  Next step?
>
> Do I need to pull flywheel and resurface it?
> Do I replace the clutch even though it looks good?
> Oil Seal and that other bearing (pilot bearing?)
> Could the shaft be messed up
>
> If anyone can tell or suggest by my pictures that would be great - thanks
> for the help.
