> OK - this one came way out of left field. I had just got done taking out
the front A-arm bolt to verify it's size, put it back and was going to go to
the FLAPS.

clutch, I got MAJOR lapping-like grinding noise like something in the tranny
had gone majorly wrong. When I drove it last Sunday there was _no_
indication of this and it hasn't been driven since. WTF?!

place. Could I have pulled the CV joint apart? The outer didn't look bad
though I didn't think to pay that close attention...

oil.
