Wow some good responses. I feel a hell of a lot better now about doing this job. Ill definatily take all of this info into consideration. I will probably get a manual for proper specs and stuff as well just to have one to have one. Its something any do it your selfer should have anyway.
Some one asked about how the dealer priced me for $125 and $750. Well Im in Germany and Everything here is expensive. It would be even mor if i wasnt in the military. They save me from the 19% tax. YA 19%.They quoted me for 100 Euro for the gasket and (ABOUT) 600 Euro for Labor. They charge 80 Euro an Hour. So I guess they figured 7 hours and some change. I have already payed up the wazzoo for having a new clutch and Flywheel put it, I would be embarrassed to tell you what I payed for that. I have learned now to buy my parts from back in the states and ship them here. Its kind of like how Porsche would pay up the wazzoo for stuff done to his car in the states. Trust me though its all worth the while when you can go out on the autobahn as fast as you want for as long as you want. I took a ride to a town about 40 mins away I was able to keep it at about 120mph most of the way and occasionally hit 150mph+ I love this place. Keep up the good work. Thanks for your help
