Thanks Don, I think the spacer might be a little thin. I might get a kit
when I get some more little stuff for it. OR, if I could ever find my other
spacers from previous cars. I am positive the clutch is weak now though, as
when I drive the ~15 misn to work on the highway I can get it to slip after
that, or when I slam for second or above it slips a while.
