Sounds pretty reasonable to me to have the thing removed/replaced. Let us know when you'll have time to do this for us!

Guys, I did this with Dave this past weekend...nothing crazy but I feel a slight difference.

PS - If you clamp the line correctly you wont have to bleed to clutch ... There plenty of brake fluid in the res.

you always need to bleed the line... air gets in to the line once its disconnected. You can get away with not bleeding it, but its very smart to bleed the line. The air has no where to escape from... and will decrease clutch performance with air in the line. I am not sure how much brake fluid is in each person's resevoir but having some on hand isnt a bad idea...

Of course its not a bad idea to have some brake fluid readily available, all I'm saying is the job isn't bad. And we barely bleed it at all, I pumped the clutch I believe once or twice.
