RE: Clutch falling off; was (RE: 16v starter woes, I think...)

Wouldn't that mean 9 bolts letting go simultaneously?  It's been about 16
months since I've had one apart, but that's the number of bolts I seem to
recall.  Otherwise I think there would have been some sort of problem that
would have been evident before the failure, as some of the bolts were
backing out.

Interesting.  Now has anyone actually ever had this happen?  Seems like
it would be a one in a million thing.  Also would question the mechanic's
abilities.
