<VV> The Latest on my FC Clutch Problem

[Geoffrey A. Johnson]

Have you considered something in the transmission?  Sorry, dont rememebr if 
you stated that.  Thats what it sounds like to me from here as you have 
checked everything else.  Try lighter gear oil in it and see if that helps. 
I would also drive the ---- out of it for a while and see if it just needs 
to wear in.

Good Luck,
Geoff Johnson
