Thanks 66fs. Yea, we had a great shop here but the man died in Oct 2014 and his kids closed it up. There is another shop in town but I have never been able to work with them or get them to listen to me. They have that "You don't know anything, we've been in business for 40 years" attitude. They actually sold me a Borg & Beck #1576 pressure plate and it was not set up right. I tried to tell them it didn't release and the spring pressure was too great. After telling me twice they had it fixed, installing it and dropping the motor/tranny back in the car only to discover it still didn't work, I gave up and ordered a new pressure plate from Brewers. It's still not like it was, but the car runs and I can live with it for a little while. I'm going to school myself all I can on pressure plates and make sure I know what I'm talking about so I can spot someone trying to jerk me around before I swap parts again.
