Everything is being, or has been, attended to. We are just waiting on LARGER half shafts from Kugel and it should be wrapped up - once again. The stub axles were shipped and installed as well as the carriers -- but I wanted to upgrade the half shafts as long as things were torn apart. Proactive is a better game to play than F.O.R.D.
Everyone has been working hard to get 'er done and I send kudos to S.A.R. and Kugel for there diligence!
The throw out bearing is a Tilton -- and they've taken everything apart -- re-checked and reinstalled a new bearing although it appears there is nothing wrong with the 'old' one. For all I know - the noises I've heard could be from something else... it's so hard to hear in the car to begin with. I like it that way - but it's hard to pinpoint things like this.
In the meantime I'm happy to be driving my wifes new R8 Spyder.... no weird noises from this bad boy I can assure you of that! So far - so good. Was pretty smart of me to give her the birthday present the night before she was leaving for a long weekend don't ya think??
