OTOH, > the pressure plate looks newer than the friction plate... Yeah, I think that the pressure plate and friction disc were both replaced. I don't think it's unusual to get an AP pressure plate with a Sachs disc-- see for example: http://www.eeuroparts.com/productdetail.aspx?searchResults=1&code=5868 (this is a 7-piece kit with AP pressure plate & Sachs disc). Based on what I've read, I still think the release bearing is the most likely suspect. If the clutch starts acting up again, I'll put in a new release bearing and see how that works. John
