What kind of power steering filter did you buy? Does it have a built-in magnet?

I'll talk to one guy I know about using his ship and experience to swap out your clutch. It also sounds like you need a new clutch master cylinder. If you do decide to swap it out on your own, let me know, I'd love to get it on video.

thanks man
any help is great
i have and o5 coupe if that helps any
but yea i may end up doing it myself if the cost to repar it is going to be over a grand after the puchase of parts

just one question...does the engine have to be lifted to replace the clutch disc
what i mean is...does it have to be completely removed and is there any way around that
if so
i dont have a cherry picker to do this
