I have had the whole clutch repaired :disk, plate, throw-out etc. Two days and $US950. It is a Saab so I am hurt but think that is probably much less that I would have paid at the Saab Dealers. After a few hundred miles, I may report or follow up if there is anything remarkable that transpires. Thanks again, Malcolm
