Hi Rob, Thought I'd fill you in. The dealer pulled the trans and the disc was fine. The pressure plate had a broken piece; one of three 1" barrel or cylinder shaped pieces. (I'm not sure if I explained it accurately!) The dealer said I drive too easily and that I caused the problem. lol I'm done with them and I can't argue anymore at this stage of my life. They are however going half with me, thus it will cost me about $650.00. All the parts must be changed at one time! I'm definitely going to sell the car anyway because my family needs another automatic due to my daughter getting her license any day now. If you know of anyone interested in a beautiful car, totally stock and never modified and never raced, let me know. I live on Brooklyn. Thanks again for your advice and concern, Peter
