You never know, it COULD be something else (like a loose pressure plate or something). My buddy replaced the transmission about a year ago, and I have NO IDEA if he torqued the bolts down on the pressure plate or not. He is a Golf Cart mechanic, and some auto repairs are just a bit out of his league (He calls me frequently for advice).

Greetings again hubarlow!

I didn't figure it was your first rodeo, and if I insulted your intelligence, I apologize. It's just that sometimes it doesn't take very much to do more damage than one anticipates.
