Mitch,
Your technique sounds great. As long as Garrick's linkage isn't too worn
(and as long as he has the right pressure plate in his truck) it should
work fer sure.
Does Travis have the right pressure plate?
And, yes, I was studying French, but had the final on Thursday and am now
chin-deep in Frontier Literature. No time even to install the box of
parts that just arrived, incl. two SHINY hub caps that will look
absolutely ridiculous if I install them. They should come with
complimentary fuzzy dice.
