Go into the showroom, have a cup of coffee, eat a couple of cookies, read the latest car mag and wait (I'm estimating 5 minutes).

When the TOB freezes, the clutch explodes and the flywheel grinds it all up and the pieces fly out through the bell housing ....... ask the tech to look at it.

NOW, they have something to work with ....... replace the flywheel, clutch, pressure plate ....... AND throw out bearing ....... an assembly .......

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why the dealers don't want the old timers after them.
