I picked up mine from Poudre Sports tonight. Great guys. What I was guessing (hoping) was a rms leak was a ims flange leak, but the bearing turned out to be both fine and a dual row. I am a mid year 2001 S and per my vin should have been a single row. Go figure. I can't believe how much better the car drives with the new clutch. Turns out the old one was toast. Anyway the car is all ready for my wife on Saturday for ladies day hdpe.

I guess the flange leaks a lot. Mine was leaking too and my bearing was in pretty good shape. There was a teeny tiny bit of play.

Telski-61,800 miles. No records from previous owner but I assume it was the original. Glad I caught/changed it when I did. The flywheel was able to be reused.
