There seems to be a consensus that while you have the clutch out that you should replace everything that is or could be worn. I should have mentioned that the prices included labour and his "shop rate" is $US55 per hour. If anyone else has anything to add that could be of value or that might be helpful, please post ASAP. I still have about a day or two before he is into the clutch. I am very grateful that so much expertise is expressed so quickly. Thanks vey much, Malcolm
